Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/8] rcu-tasks: Selectively enable more RCU Tasks Trace IPIs
Date
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

Many workloads are quite sensitive to IPIs, and such workloads should
build kernels with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y to prevent RCU
Tasks Trace from using them under normal conditions. However, other
workloads are quite happy to permit more IPIs if doing so makes BPF
program updates go faster. This commit therefore sets the default
value for the rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay kernel parameter to zero for
kernels that have been built with CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=n,
while retaining the old default of (HZ / 10) for kernels that have
indicated an aversion to IPIs via CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y.
