rcu: Create RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hide booleans behind it
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit creates an RCU_EXPERT Kconfig and hides the independent
boolean RCU-related user-visible Kconfig parameters behind it, namely
RCU_FAST_NO_HZ and RCU_BOOST.  This prevents Kconfig from asking about
these parameters unless the user really wants to be asked.

config RCU_EXPERT
bool "Make expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration"
default n
help
This option needs to be enabled if you wish to make
expert-level adjustments to RCU configuration. By default,
no such adjustments can be made, which has the often-beneficial
side-effect of preventing "make oldconfig" from asking you all
sorts of detailed questions about how you would like numerous
obscure RCU options to be set up.

Say Y if you need to make expert-level adjustments to RCU.

Say N if you are unsure.
