* rcu: Remove conditional compilation for RCU CPU stall warningsPaul E. McKenney2011-05-051-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RCU CPU stall warnings can now be controlled using the rcu_cpu_stall_suppress boot-time parameter or via the same parameter from sysfs. There is therefore no longer any reason to have kernel config parameters for this feature. This commit therefore removes the RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR and RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR_RUNNABLE kernel config parameters. The RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter remains to allow the timeout to be tuned and the RCU_CPU_STALL_VERBOSE parameter remains to allow task-stall information to be suppressed if desired.

* rcu: upgrade stallwarn.txt documentation for CPU-bound RT processesPaul E. McKenney2010-08-231-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | CPU-bound real-time processes can cause RCU CPU stall warnings, and much other trouble as well. Document the fact that they can cause RCU CPU stall warnings. Suggested-by: Darren Hart <dvhltc@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: improve the RCU CPU-stall warning documentationPaul E. McKenney2010-05-101-23/+71
| | | | | | | | The existing Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt has proven unhelpful, so rework it a bit. In particular, show how to interpret the stall-warning messages. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
* rcu: 1Q2010 update for RCU documentationPaul E. McKenney2010-01-161-0/+58
Add expedited functions. Review documentation and update obsolete verbiage. Also fix the advice for the RCU CPU-stall kernel configuration parameter, and document RCU CPU-stall warnings.
