- Probe on user/kernel boundaries by default in order to
|
|
|
- test the features that rely on it such as userspace RCU extended
|
|
|
- quiescent states.
|
|
|
- This test is there for debugging until we have a real user like the
|
|
|
- full dynticks mode.
|
|
|
+ The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
|
|
|
+ support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
|
|
|
+ other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
|
|
|
+ dynticks working.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
|
|
|
+ context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
|
|
|
+ requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
|
|
|
+ Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
|
|
|
+ for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
|
|
|
+ userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
|
|
|
+ accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
|
|
|
+ dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
|
|
|
+ CPUs in the system.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Say Y only if you're working on the developpement of an
|
|
|
+ architecture backend for the context tracking.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
|
|
|
+ don't want in production.
