65 Omit Scheduling-Clock Ticks For Idle CPUs
68 If a CPU is idle, there is little point in sending it a scheduling-clock
71 and an idle CPU has no duties to shift its attention among.
74 scheduling-clock interrupts to idle CPUs, which is critically important
82 idle CPUs. That said, dyntick-idle mode is not free:
85 to and from the idle loop.
87 2. On many architectures, dyntick-idle mode also increases the
92 in order to avoid degrading from-idle transition latencies.
94 An idle CPU that is not receiving scheduling-clock interrupts is said to
95 be "dyntick-idle", "in dyntick-idle mode", "in nohz mode", or "running
96 tickless". The remainder of this document will use "dyntick-idle mode".
99 dyntick-idle mode in CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y kernels by specifying "nohz=off".
101 dyntick-idle mode.
110 task implies also omitting them for idle CPUs.
120 wait idle while the delayed CPU finishes. Thus, the delay is multiplied
147 Just as with dyntick-idle mode, the benefits of adaptive-tick mode do
151 adaptive ticks without also running dyntick idle. This dependency
183 There are situations in which idle CPUs cannot be permitted to
184 enter either dyntick-idle mode or adaptive-tick mode, the most
188 to enter dyntick-idle mode or adaptive-tick mode anyway. In this case,
199 never prevents offloaded CPUs from entering either dyntick-idle mode
233 * Dyntick-idle slows transitions to and from idle slightly.
236 dyntick-idle mode, an option that most of them take. However,

253 be even worse than that of dyntick-idle. Furthermore,
284 * A reboot is required to reconfigure both adaptive idle and RCU
308 * Unless all CPUs are idle, at least one CPU must keep the
