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. endchoice config NO_HZ_FULL_ALL bool "Full dynticks system on all CPUs by default (except CPU 0)" depends on NO_HZ_FULL help If the user doesn't pass the nohz_full boot option to define the range of full dynticks CPUs, consider that all CPUs in the system are full dynticks by default. Note the boot CPU will still be kept outside the range to handle the timekeeping duty. config NO_HZ bool "Old Idle dynticks config" depends on !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET && GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS help This is the old config entry that enables dynticks idle.
