rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options

Selaa lähdekoodia 
The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.  This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

Another approach is to offload RCU callback processing to "rcuo" kthreads
using the CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y Kconfig option. The specific CPUs to
offload may be selected via several methods:
1. One of three mutually exclusive Kconfig options specify a
build-time default for the CPUs to offload:
a. The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE=y Kconfig option results in
no CPUs being offloaded.
b. The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO=y Kconfig option causes
CPU 0 to be offloaded.
c. The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y Kconfig option causes all
CPUs to be offloaded. Note that the callbacks will be
offloaded to "rcuo" kthreads, and that those kthreads
will in fact run on some CPU. However, this approach
gives fine-grained control on exactly which CPUs the
callbacks run on, along with their scheduling priority
(including the default of SCHED_OTHER), and it further
allows this control to be varied dynamically at runtime.
2. The "rcu_nocbs=" kernel boot parameter, which takes a comma-separated
list of CPUs and CPU ranges, for example, "1,3-5" selects CPUs 1,
3, 4, and 5. The specified CPUs will be offloaded in addition to
any CPUs specified as offloaded by CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO=y or
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y. This means that the "rcu_nocbs=" boot
parameter has no effect for kernels built with RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y.
offload may be selected using The "rcu_nocbs=" kernel boot parameter,
which takes a comma-separated list of CPUs and CPU ranges, for example,
"1,3-5" selects CPUs 1, 3, 4, and 5.
The offloaded CPUs will never queue RCU callbacks, and therefore RCU
never prevents offloaded CPUs from entering either dyntick-idle mode
