79 This option enables a tickless idle system: timer interrupts
80 will only trigger on an as-needed basis when the system is idle.

100 Adaptively try to shutdown the tick whenever possible, even when
a831881b
FW
101 the CPU is running tasks. Typically this requires running a single
102 task on the CPU. Chances for running tickless are maximized when
103 the task mostly runs in userspace and has few kernel activity.
104
c5bfece2 105 You need to fill up the nohz_full boot parameter with the
a831881b
FW
106 desired range of dynticks CPUs.
107
108 This is implemented at the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel
109 transitions: syscalls, exceptions and interrupts. Even when it's
110 dynamically off.

120 This is the old config entry that enables dynticks idle.
