+ At least one CPU must keep the scheduling-clock tick running for
+ timekeeping purposes whenever there is a non-idle CPU, where
+ "non-idle" also includes dynticks CPUs as long as they are
+ running non-idle tasks. Because the underlying adaptive-tick
+ support cannot distinguish between all CPUs being idle and
+ all CPUs each running a single task in dynticks mode, the
+ underlying support simply ensures that there is always a CPU
+ handling the scheduling-clock tick, whether or not all CPUs
+ are idle. This Kconfig option enables scalable detection of
+ the all-CPUs-idle state, thus allowing the scheduling-clock
+ tick to be disabled when all CPUs are idle. Note that scalable
+ detection of the all-CPUs-idle state means that larger systems
+ will be slower to declare the all-CPUs-idle state.

+ The full-system idle detection mechanism takes a lazy approach
+ on large systems, as is required to attain decent scalability.
+ However, on smaller systems, scalability is not anywhere near as
+ large a concern as is energy efficiency. The sysidle subsystem
+ therefore uses a fast but non-scalable algorithm for small
+ systems and a lazier but scalable algorithm for large systems.
+ This Kconfig parameter defines the number of CPUs in the largest
+ system that will be considered to be "small".
+
+ The default value will be fine in most cases. Battery-powered
+ systems that (1) enable NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE, (2) have larger
+ numbers of CPUs, and (3) are suffering from battery-lifetime
+ problems due to long sysidle latencies might wish to experiment
+ with larger values for this Kconfig parameter. On the other
+ hand, they might be even better served by disabling NO_HZ_FULL
+ entirely, given that NO_HZ_FULL is intended for HPC and
+ real-time workloads that at present do not tend to be run on
+ battery-powered systems.
+
+ Take the default if you are unsure.
