init: remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK

CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK adds config bloat without an obvious use case that makes it worth keeping around. Delete it.

rcu: Optionally run grace-period kthreads at real-time priority

2015-01-16T07:25:04Z

Recent testing has shown that under heavy load, running RCU's grace-period kthreads at real-time priority can improve performance (according to 0day test robot) and reduce the incidence of RCU CPU stall warnings. However, most systems do just fine with the default non-realtime priorities for these kthreads, and it does not make sense to expose the entire user base to any risk stemming from this change, given that this change is of use only to a few users running extremely heavy workloads. Therefore, this commit allows users to specify realtime priorities for the grace-period kthreads, but leaves them running SCHED_OTHER by default. The realtime priority may be specified at build time via the RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO Kconfig parameter, or at boot time via the rcutree.kthread_prio parameter. Either way, 0 says to continue the default SCHED_OTHER behavior and values from 1-99 specify that priority of SCHED_FIFO behavior. Note that a value of 0 is not permitted when the RCU_BOOST Kconfig parameter is specified. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU

2015-01-06T19:04:29Z

SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable. The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making use of SRCU are selected. If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all. text data bss dec hex filename 2007 0 0 2007 7d7 kernel/rcu/srcu.o Size of arch/powerpc/boot/zImage changes from text data bss dec hex filename 831552 64180 23944 919676 e087c arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : before 829504 64180 23952 917636 e0084 arch/powerpc/boot/zImage : after so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.
