This feature enables lockdep extensions that check for correct
use of RCU APIs. This is currently under development. Say Y

feature.

config PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY
bool "RCU debugging: don't disable PROVE_RCU on first splat"
depends on PROVE_RCU
default n
help
By itself, PROVE_RCU will disable checking upon issuing the
first warning (or "splat"). This feature prevents such
disabling, allowing multiple RCU-lockdep warnings to be printed
on a single reboot.

bool "RCU debugging: preemptible RCU race provocation"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT_RCU
default n
help
There is a class of races that involve an unlikely preemption
of __rcu_read_unlock() just after ->rcu_read_lock_nesting has
been set to INT_MIN. This feature inserts a delay at that
point to increase the probability of these races.
Say Y to increase probability of preemption of __rcu_read_unlock().
Say N if you are unsure.
config SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
bool "RCU debugging: sparse-based checks for pointer usage"
default n
help
This feature enables the __rcu sparse annotation for
RCU-protected pointers. This annotation will cause sparse
to flag any non-RCU used of annotated pointers. This can be
helpful when debugging RCU usage. Please note that this feature
is not intended to enforce code cleanliness; it is instead merely
a debugging aid.
Say Y to make sparse flag questionable use of RCU-protected pointers
