Thomas Gleixner d67f34c19a clocksource: Provide clocksource_arch_init()
Architectures have extra archdata in the clocksource, e.g. for VDSO
support. There are no sanity checks or general initializations for this
available. Add support for that.

This option keeps the tick running periodically at a constant
rate, even when the CPU doesn't need it.

help
This option enables a tickless idle system: timer interrupts
will only trigger on an as-needed basis when the system is idle.
This is usually interesting for energy saving.
Most of the time you want to say Y here.

help
Adaptively try to shutdown the tick whenever possible, even when
the CPU is running tasks. 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.

This is the old config entry that enables dynticks idle.
We keep it around for a little while to enforce backward
compatibility with older config files.

This option enables high resolution timer support. If your
hardware is not capable then this option only increases
the size of the kernel image.
