 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Some forms of tracing need to sleep in readers, but cannot tolerate
-SRCU's read-side overhead, which includes a full memory barrier in both
-srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock().  This need is handled by a
-Tasks Trace RCU that uses scheduler locking and IPIs to synchronize with
-readers.  Real-time systems that cannot tolerate IPIs may build their
-kernels with ``CONFIG_TASKS_TRACE_RCU_READ_MB=y``, which avoids the IPIs at
-the expense of adding full memory barriers to the read-side primitives.

 The tasks-trace-RCU API is also reasonably compact,
 consisting of rcu_read_lock_trace(), rcu_read_unlock_trace(),
