| 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 to use it. This is implemented at |
| the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel transitions: |
| syscalls, exceptions and interrupts. |
| |
| By default, without passing the nohz_full parameter, this behaves just |
| like NO_HZ_IDLE. |

| help |
| The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to |
| support the user context tracking subsystem. But there are also |
| other dependencies to provide in order to make the full |
| dynticks working. |
| |
| This option stands for testing when an arch implements the |
| user context tracking backend but doesn't yet fulfill all the |
| requirements to make the full dynticks feature working. |
| Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support |
| for user context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU |
| userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime |
| accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full |
| dynticks subsystem by forcing the user context tracking on all |
| CPUs in the system. |
| |
| Say Y only if you're working on the development of an |
| architecture backend for the user context tracking. |
| |
| Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you |
| don't want in production. |

| it is good enough for the clocksource watchdog! |
