+	rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp= [KNL]
+			Reduces a latency of synchronize_rcu() call. This approach
+			maintains its own track of synchronize_rcu() callers, so it
+			does not interact with regular callbacks because it does not
+			use a call_rcu[_hurry]() path. Please note, this is for a
+			normal grace period.
+
+			How to enable it:
+
+			echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
+			or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"
+
+			Default is 0.
+
 	rcuscale.gp_async= [KNL]
 			Measure performance of asynchronous
 			grace-period primitives such as call_rcu().
