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.

Say N.

The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
|
|
support the 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
|
|
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 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 context tracking on all
|
|
CPUs in the system.
|
|
|
|
Say Y only if you're working on the development of an
|
|
architecture backend for the context tracking.
|
|
|
|
Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
|
|
don't want in production.
