-Kconfig Parameters Ignored:
-
-CONFIG_64BIT
-
- Used only to check CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT value, inspection suffices.
-
-CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE_SMALL
-
- Defer until Frederic uses this.
-
-CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT
-CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
-
- Redundant with CONFIG_PREEMPT, ignore.
-
-CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY
-
- Inspection suffices, ignore.
-
-CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
-
- Inspection suffices, ignore.
-
-CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON
-
- Implied by TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU.
-
-CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST
-CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_RUNNABLE
-
- Always used in KVM testing.
-
-CONFIG_RCU_USER_QS
-
- Redundant with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL.
-
-CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
-CONFIG_TREE_RCU
-
- These are controlled by CONFIG_PREEMPT.
