+       rcuperf.gp_exp= [KNL]
+                       Measure performance of expedited synchronous

+
+       rcuperf.nreaders= [KNL]
+                       Set number of RCU readers.  The value -1 selects
+                       N, where N is the number of CPUs.  A value
+                       "n" less than -1 selects N-n+1, where N is again
+                       the number of CPUs.  For example, -2 selects N
+                       (the number of CPUs), -3 selects N+1, and so on.
+                       A value of "n" less than or equal to -N selects
+                       a single reader.
+
+       rcuperf.nwriters= [KNL]
+                       Set number of RCU writers.  The values operate
+                       the same as for rcuperf.nreaders.

+       rcuperf.perf_runnable= [BOOT]
+                       Start rcuperf running at boot time.

+                       Shut the system down after performance tests

+                       testing.
+
+       rcuperf.perf_type= [KNL]
+                       Specify the RCU implementation to test.
