The automatic increase of the min_delta_ns of a clockevents device should be done in the clockevents code as the minimum delay is an attribute of the clockevents device. In addition not all architectures want the automatic adjustment, on a massively virtualized system it can happen that the programming of a clock event fails several times in a row because the virtual cpu has been rescheduled quickly enough. In that case the minimum delay will erroneously be increased with no way back. The new config symbol GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_MIN_ADJUST is used to enable the automatic adjustment. The config option is selected only for x86.

This option enables a tickless system: timer interrupts will
|
|
only trigger on an as-needed basis both when the system is
|

busy and when the system is idle.

This option enables high resolution timer support. If your

hardware is not capable then this option only increases

the size of the kernel image.
