As such, bugs in notifier 164 callbacks can prevent stall warnings from being printed. 165 And the whole reason that a stall warning is being printed is 166 that something is hung up somewhere. Therefore, the notifier 167 callbacks must be written extremely carefully, preferably 168 containing only lockless code. After all, it is quite possible 169 that the whole reason that the RCU CPU stall is happening in 170 the first place is that someone forgot to release whatever lock 171 that you are thinking of acquiring. In which case, having your 172 notifier callback acquire that lock will hang, preventing the 173 RCU CPU stall warning from appearing. 174 175 Say Y here if you want RCU CPU stall notifiers (you don't want them) 176 Say N if you are unsure. 177 178config RCU_TRACE 179 bool "Enable tracing for RCU" 180 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 181 default y if TREE_RCU 182 select TRACE_CLOCK 183 help 184 This option enables additional tracepoints for ftrace-style 185 event tracing. 186 187 Say Y here if you want to enable RCU tracing 188 Say N if you are unsure. 189 190config RCU_EQS_DEBUG 191 bool "Provide debugging asserts for adding NO_HZ support to an arch" 192 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 193 help 194 This option provides consistency checks in RCU's handling of 195 NO_HZ.

This limits 209 scalability, destroys real-time response, degrades battery 210 lifetime and kills performance. Don't try this on large 211 machines, as in systems with more than about 10 or 20 CPUs. 212 But in conjunction with tools like KASAN, it can be helpful 213 when looking for certain types of RCU usage bugs, for example, 214 too-short RCU read-side critical sections. 215 216endmenu # "RCU Debugging" 217
