I think that we can move it to lib/Kconfig.debug.

I'm wondering about this.
rcuclassic_trace_buf is kmalloc-ed when init module.
In this case, why not define it as:
static char buf[20*NR_CPUS + 100];
and use it like:
pos += snprintf(buf + cnt, sizeof(buf) - cnt, ...);

I think this trace file shows too little vars for classic rcu.
It is better that this trace file shows more data.
such as some data in struct rcu_data(quiescent state handling fields, batch, qlen).
or add new files: rcu/rcu_data<cpu#>
