93 | This option enables a tickless idle system: timer interrupts |

116 | the CPU is running tasks. Typically this requires running a single |

118 | the task mostly runs in userspace and has few kernel activity. | |

c5bfece2 | 120 | You need to fill up the nohz_full boot parameter with the |

123 | This is implemented at the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel | |
