In order to be able to (de-)offload any CPU using cpusets in the future, create the NOCB data structures for all possible CPUs. For now this is done only as long as the "rcu_nocbs=" or "nohz_full=" kernel parameters are passed to avoid the unnecessary overhead for most users. Note that the rcuog and rcuoc kthreads are not created until at least one of the corresponding CPUs comes online. This approach avoids the creation of excess kthreads when firmware lies about the number of CPUs present on the system.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
