+ rcu_nocbs= [KNL,BOOT]
+ 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
+ be offloaded to "rcuoN" kthreads created for
+ that purpose. This reduces OS jitter on the
+ offloaded CPUs, which can be useful for HPC and
+ real-time workloads. It can also improve energy
+ efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
+
+ rcu_nocbs_poll [KNL,BOOT]
+ Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
+ (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
+ awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
+ make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
+ This improves the real-time response for the
+ offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
+ wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
+ energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
+ periodically wake up to do the polling.
