[PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/14] rcu: Export RCU_FAST_NO_HZ parameters to sysfs

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sat Jan 05 2013 - 12:50:23 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@xxxxxxxxxx>

RCU_FAST_NO_HZ operation is controlled by four compile-time C-preprocessor
macros, but some use cases benefit greatly from runtime adjustment,
particularly when tuning devices. This commit therefore creates the
corresponding sysfs entries.
