- rcu_nocbs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ rcu_nocbs= [KNL]
In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set
the specified list of CPUs to be no-callback CPUs.
Invocation of these CPUs' RCU callbacks will
real-time workloads. It can also improve energy
efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
- rcu_nocb_poll [KNL,BOOT]
+ rcu_nocb_poll [KNL]
Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
(specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
periodically wake up to do the polling.

Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to process
in one batch.

+ rcutree.rcu_idle_lazy_gp_delay= [KNL]
Set wakeup interval for idle CPUs that have

Lazy RCU callbacks are those which RCU can
prove do nothing more than free memory.

Set number of RCU readers.
