This option provides a kernel module that runs performance
tests on the RCU infrastructure. The kernel module may be built
after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
Say Y here if you want RCU performance tests to be built into
the kernel.
Say M if you want the RCU performance tests to build as a module.
Say N if you are unsure.

help
This option provides a way to build the RCU performance tests
directly into the kernel without them starting up at boot time.
You can use /sys/module to manually override this setting.
This /proc file is available only when the RCU performance
tests have been built into the kernel.
Say Y here if you want the RCU performance tests to start during
boot (you probably don't).
Say N here if you want the RCU performance tests to start only
after being manually enabled via /sys/module.
