rcu: provide RCU options on non-preempt architectures too
Impact: build fix Some old architectures still do not use kernel/Kconfig.preempt, so the moving of the RCU options there broke their build: In file included from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sem.h:81, from /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/sched.h:69, from /home/mingo/tip/arch/alpha/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9: /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/rcupdate.h:62:2: error: #error "Unknown RCU implementation specified to kernel configuration" Move these options back to init/Kconfig, which every architecture includes.

75config PREEMPT_RCU
76 bool "Preemptible RCU"
77 depends on PREEMPT
78 help
79 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
80 RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
81 this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
82 preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
83 now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
84 remaining on a given CPU through its execution.

91 help
92 This option provides tracing in RCU which presents stats
93 in debugfs for debugging RCU implementation.

105 help
106 This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
107 of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
108 large numbers of CPUs. This value must be at least the cube
109 root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS up to 32,768 for 32-bit
110 systems and up to 262,144 for 64-bit systems.

112 Select a specific number if testing RCU itself.

117 depends on TREE_RCU
118 default n
119 help
120 This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified,
121 regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy. This is useful for
122 testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
123 strong NUMA behavior.
124
125 Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.
126
127 Say n if unsure.
