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