954 help
955 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
956 RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
957 this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
958 preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
959 now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
960 remaining on a given CPU through its execution.

982 This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
983 of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
984 large numbers of CPUs. This value must be at least the cube
985 root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS up to 32,768 for 32-bit
986 systems and up to 262,144 for 64-bit systems.

996 This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified,
997 regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy. This is useful for
998 testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
999 strong NUMA behavior.

1001 Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.
