-config PROVE_RCU
- bool "RCU debugging: prove RCU correctness"
- depends on PROVE_LOCKING
- default n
- help
- This feature enables lockdep extensions that check for correct
- use of RCU APIs. This is currently under development. Say Y
- if you want to debug RCU usage or help work on the PROVE_RCU
- feature.
-
- Say N if you are unsure.

-config PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY
- bool "RCU debugging: don't disable PROVE_RCU on first splat"
- depends on PROVE_RCU
- default n
- help
- By itself, PROVE_RCU will disable checking upon issuing the
- first warning (or "splat"). This feature prevents such
- disabling, allowing multiple RCU-lockdep warnings to be printed
- on a single reboot.
-
- Say Y to allow multiple RCU-lockdep warnings per boot.
-
- Say N if you are unsure.
-
-config PROVE_RCU_DELAY
- bool "RCU debugging: preemptible RCU race provocation"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT_RCU
- default n
- help
- There is a class of races that involve an unlikely preemption
- of __rcu_read_unlock() just after ->rcu_read_lock_nesting has
- been set to INT_MIN. This feature inserts a delay at that
- point to increase the probability of these races.
-
- Say Y to increase probability of preemption of __rcu_read_unlock().
-
- Say N if you are unsure.
-
-config SPARSE_RCU_POINTER
- bool "RCU debugging: sparse-based checks for pointer usage"
- default n
- help
- This feature enables the __rcu sparse annotation for
- RCU-protected pointers. This annotation will cause sparse
- to flag any non-RCU used of annotated pointers. This can be
- helpful when debugging RCU usage. Please note that this feature
- is not intended to enforce code cleanliness; it is instead merely
- a debugging aid.
-
- Say Y to make sparse flag questionable use of RCU-protected pointers
-
- Say N if you are unsure.

bool
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT && LOCKDEP_SUPPORT
BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
what it believes to be lockup conditions.
