config EXPERIMENTAL
	bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
	---help---
	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
	  <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.

	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

config RCU_TRACE
	bool "Enable tracing for RCU"
	depends on TREE_RCU || PREEMPT_RCU
	help
	  This option provides tracing in RCU which presents stats
	  in debugfs for debugging RCU implementation.

	  Say Y here if you want to enable RCU tracing
	  Say N if you are unsure.

config RCU_FANOUT
	int "Tree-based hierarchical RCU fanout value"

	range 2 32 if !64BIT
	depends on TREE_RCU
	default 64 if 64BIT
	default 32 if !64BIT
	help
	  This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
	  of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
	  large numbers of CPUs.  This value must be at least the cube
	  root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS up to 32,768 for 32-bit
	  systems and up to 262,144 for 64-bit systems.

	  Select a specific number if testing RCU itself.
	  Take the default if unsure.

config RCU_FANOUT_EXACT
	bool "Disable tree-based hierarchical RCU auto-balancing"
	depends on TREE_RCU
	default n
	help
	  This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified,
	  regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy.  This is useful for
	  testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
	  strong NUMA behavior.

	  Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.

	  Say N if unsure.
