[PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/4] rcu: make RCU's CPU-stall detector be default

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Dec 02 2009 - 15:11:13 EST


From: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR costs almost nothing and has located some bugs
that might otherwise have been difficult to track down. Make it be default
for the TREE RCU implementations. (TINY_RCU does not support CPU-stall
detection, but then again it is a uniprocessor...)
