111 Adaptively try to shutdown the tick whenever possible, even when
a831881b
FW
112 the CPU is running tasks. Typically this requires running a single
113 task on the CPU. Chances for running tickless are maximized when
114 the task mostly runs in userspace and has few kernel activity.
115
c5bfece2 116 You need to fill up the nohz_full boot parameter with the
a831881b
FW
117 desired range of dynticks CPUs.
118
119 This is implemented at the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel
120 transitions: syscalls, exceptions and interrupts. Even when it's
121 dynamically off.

131 If the user doesn't pass the nohz_full boot option to
132 define the range of full dynticks CPUs, consider that all
133 CPUs in the system are full dynticks by default.
134 Note the boot CPU will still be kept outside the range to
135 handle the timekeeping duty.
