+ 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.
+
+ Say Y if you would like to help debug all-CPUs-idle detection.
+
+ Say N if you are unsure.
