From 2b1d5024e17be459aa6385763ca3faa8f01c52d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:26:30 +0200 Subject: rcu: Settle config for userspace extended quiescent state Create a new config option under the RCU menu that put CPUs under RCU extended quiescent state (as in dynticks idle mode) when they run in userspace. This require some contribution from architectures to hook into kernel and userspace boundaries.
