online to handle timekeeping tasks in order to ensure that system
calls like gettimeofday() returns accurate values on adaptive-tick CPUs.
(This is not an issue for CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y because there are no running
-user processes to observe slight drifts in clock rate.) Therefore, the
-boot CPU is prohibited from entering adaptive-ticks mode. Specifying a

Finally, adaptive-ticks CPUs must have their RCU callbacks offloaded.
