Please CC Frederic Weisbecker and myself if you send a patch. > TREE_PREEMPT_RCU > Referencing files: arch/sh/configs/sdk7786_defconfig This would have been correct back in the day. It should now be CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU. Except that the CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in that same file implies CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y, so best to simply delete the CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU=y line. > RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO > Referencing files: arch/xtensa/configs/nommu_kc705_defconfig You now get RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO whether you want it or not, so this line should be deleted. > RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL > Referencing files: > Documentation/RCU/Design/Memory-Ordering/Tree-RCU-Memory-Ordering.rst This is an old snapshot of the code. One approach would be to update this from the real rcu_prepare_for_idle() function in kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h. The line numbers in the following paragraph would need to be updated, but the figure is unaffected. > RCU_TORTURE_TESTS > Referencing files: kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c The final "S" needs to be dropped. > and finally the macro which drive me to do this research > > TASKS_RCU_TRACE > Referencing files: include/linux/rcupdate.h, kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h The fix for this one is of course already queued. Please CC me if you decide to create patches. Otherwise, let me know, and I can produce fixes. Thanx, Paul > On Fri, Jul 16, 2021 at 2:09 AM Paul E.
