  • 83fe27ea5   rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU ... Browse Code »

    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.

    so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

    Because rcu_torture_random() will be used by the locking equivalent to
    rcutorture, pull it out into its own module. This new module cannot
    be separately configured, instead, use the Kconfig "select" statement
    from the Kconfig options of tests depending on it.
