Right now, TINY_RCU depends on (!PREEMPTION && !SMP), which has served the kernel well for many years due to the fact that PREEMPT_RCU is normally a synonym for PREEMPTION. But with the advent of lazy preemption, it will be possible to have non-preemptible RCU in a preemptible kernel, so that kernels could be built with PREEMPT_RCU=n and PREEMPTION=y. This commit therefore makes TINY_RCU depend on (!PREEMPT_RCU && !SMP), thus allowing for a non-preemptible RCU in preemptible kernels. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

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 reStructuredText 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.
