why a new grace period has not yet started.
rcuperf.gp_async= [KNL]
rcuscale.gp_async= [KNL]
Measure performance of asynchronous
grace-period primitives such as call_rcu().
rcuperf.gp_async_max= [KNL]
rcuscale.gp_async_max= [KNL]
Specify the maximum number of outstanding
callbacks per writer thread. When a writer
thread exceeds this limit, it invokes the
corresponding flavor of rcu_barrier() to allow
previously posted callbacks to drain.
rcuperf.gp_exp= [KNL]
rcuscale.gp_exp= [KNL]
Measure performance of expedited synchronous
grace-period primitives.
rcuperf.holdoff= [KNL]
rcuscale.holdoff= [KNL]
Set test-start holdoff period. The purpose of
this parameter is to delay the start of the
test until boot completes in order to avoid
interference.
rcuperf.kfree_rcu_test= [KNL]
rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test= [KNL]
Set to measure performance of kfree_rcu() flooding.
rcuperf.kfree_nthreads= [KNL]
rcuscale.kfree_nthreads= [KNL]
The number of threads running loops of kfree_rcu().
rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num= [KNL]
rcuscale.kfree_alloc_num= [KNL]
Number of allocations and frees done in an iteration.
rcuperf.kfree_loops= [KNL]
Number of loops doing rcuperf.kfree_alloc_num number
rcuscale.kfree_loops= [KNL]
Number of loops doing rcuscale.kfree_alloc_num number
of allocations and frees.
rcuperf.nreaders= [KNL]
rcuscale.nreaders= [KNL]
Set number of RCU readers. The value -1 selects
N, where N is the number of CPUs. A value
"n" less than -1 selects N-n+1, where N is again

rcuscale.perf_type= [KNL]
Specify the RCU implementation to test.
rcuperf.shutdown= [KNL]
rcuscale.shutdown= [KNL]
Shut the system down after performance tests
complete. This is useful for hands-off automated
testing.
rcuperf.verbose= [KNL]
rcuscale.verbose= [KNL]
Enable additional printk() statements.
rcuperf.writer_holdoff= [KNL]
rcuscale.writer_holdoff= [KNL]
Write-side holdoff between grace periods,
in microseconds. The default of zero says
no holdoff.

Format: integer between 0 and 10
Default is 0.
scftorture.holdoff= [KNL]
Number of seconds to hold off before starting
test. Defaults to zero for module insertion and
to 10 seconds for built-in smp_call_function()
tests.
scftorture.longwait= [KNL]
Request ridiculously long waits randomly selected
up to the chosen limit in seconds. Zero (the
default) disables this feature. Please note
that requesting even small non-zero numbers of
seconds can result in RCU CPU stall warnings,
softlockup complaints, and so on.
scftorture.nthreads= [KNL]
Number of kthreads to spawn to invoke the
smp_call_function() family of functions.
The default of -1 specifies a number of kthreads
equal to the number of CPUs.
scftorture.onoff_holdoff= [KNL]
Number seconds to wait after the start of the
test before initiating CPU-hotplug operations.
scftorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]
Number seconds to wait between successive
CPU-hotplug operations. Specifying zero (which
is the default) disables CPU-hotplug operations.
scftorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL]
The number of seconds following the start of the
test after which to shut down the system. The
default of zero avoids shutting down the system.
Non-zero values are useful for automated tests.
scftorture.stat_interval= [KNL]
The number of seconds between outputting the
current test statistics to the console. A value
of zero disables statistics output.
scftorture.stutter_cpus= [KNL]
The number of jiffies to wait between each change
to the set of CPUs under test.
scftorture.use_cpus_read_lock= [KNL]
Use use_cpus_read_lock() instead of the default
preempt_disable() to disable CPU hotplug
while invoking one of the smp_call_function*()
functions.
scftorture.verbose= [KNL]
Enable additional printk() statements.
scftorture.weight_single= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_single() function with a zero
"wait" parameter. A value of -1 selects the
default if all other weights are -1. However,
if at least one weight has some other value, a
value of -1 will instead select a weight of zero.
scftorture.weight_single_wait= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_single() function with a
non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single.
scftorture.weight_many= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_many() function with a zero
"wait" parameter. See weight_single.
Note well that setting a high probability for
this weighting can place serious IPI load
on the system.
scftorture.weight_many_wait= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_many() function with a
non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single
and weight_many.
scftorture.weight_all= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_all() function with a zero
"wait" parameter. See weight_single and
weight_many.
scftorture.weight_all_wait= [KNL]
The probability weighting to use for the
smp_call_function_all() function with a
non-zero "wait" parameter. See weight_single
and weight_many.
skew_tick= [KNL] Offset the periodic timer tick per cpu to mitigate
xtime_lock contention on larger systems, and/or RCU lock
contention on all systems with CONFIG_MAXSMP set.
