help
If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
will detect preemption count underflows.
+ This option has potential to introduce high runtime overhead,
+ depending on workload as it triggers debugging routines for each
+ this_cpu operation. It should only be used for debugging purposes.

+ Enable this to include the Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark. This test
+ calculates the number of Dhrystones per second, and the number of
+ DMIPS (Dhrystone MIPS) obtained when the Dhrystone score is divided
+ by 1757 (the number of Dhrystones per second obtained on the VAX
+ 11/780, nominally a 1 MIPS machine).
+
+ To run the benchmark, it needs to be enabled explicitly, either from
+ the kernel command line (when built-in), or from userspace (when
+ built-in or modular.
+
+ Run once during kernel boot:
+
+ test_dhry.run
+
+ Set number of iterations from kernel command line:
+
+ test_dhry.iterations=<n>
+
+ Set number of iterations from userspace:
+
+ echo <n> > /sys/module/test_dhry/parameters/iterations
+
+ Trigger manual run from userspace:
+
+ echo y > /sys/module/test_dhry/parameters/run
+
+ If the number of iterations is <= 0, the test will devise a suitable
+ number of iterations (test runs for at least 2s) automatically.
+ This process takes ca. 4s.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
