870 default CLASSIC_RCU
871 help
872 This allows you to choose either the classic RCU implementation
873 that is designed for best read-side performance on non-realtime
874 systems, or the preemptible RCU implementation for best latency
875 on realtime systems. Note that some kernel preemption modes
876 will restrict your choice.
877
878 Select the default if you are unsure.

892 help
893 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
894 RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
895 this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
896 preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
897 now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
898 remaining on a given CPU through its execution.

900 Say N if you are unsure.
