rcu: Provide compile-time control for no-CBs CPUs 



Currently, the only way to specify no-CBs CPUs is via the rcu_nocbs
kernel command-line parameter.  This is inconvenient in some cases,
particularly for randconfig testing, so this commit adds a new set of
kernel configuration parameters.  CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE (the default)
retains the old behavior, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO offloads callback
processing from CPU 0 (along with any other CPUs specified by the
rcu_nocbs boot-time parameter), and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL offloads
callback processing from all CPUs.

	default RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE

	help

	  This option allows no-CBs CPUs to be specified at build time.

	  Additional no-CBs CPUs may be specified by the rcu_nocbs=

	  boot parameter.



config RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE

	bool "No build_forced no-CBs CPUs"

	depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU

	help

	  This option does not force any of the CPUs to be no-CBs CPUs.

	  Only CPUs designated by the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter will be

	  no-CBs CPUs.



config RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO

	bool "CPU 0 is a build_forced no-CBs CPU"

	depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU

	help

	  This option forces CPU 0 to be a no-CBs CPU.  Additional CPUs

	  may be designated as no-CBs CPUs using the rcu_nocbs= boot

	  parameter will be no-CBs CPUs.



	  Select this if CPU 0 needs to be a no-CBs CPU for real-time

	  or energy-efficiency reasons.



config RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL

	bool "All CPUs are build_forced no-CBs CPUs"

	depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU

	help

	  This option forces all CPUs to be no-CBs CPUs.  The rcu_nocbs=

	  boot parameter will be ignored.



	  Select this if all CPUs need to be no-CBs CPUs for real-time

	  or energy-efficiency reasons.
