From: Ingo Molnar dynamic ticks core code. This is an extension to the per-cpu sched_tick timer of the high resolution timer functionality. The sched_tick timer is reprogrammed to a longer timeout before going idle, when no timer events are due in the next tick. The periodic tick is resumed when the CPU leaves the idle state. If a non-timer IRQ hits the idle task jiffies are updated from irq_enter before calling the interrupt code, otherwise the interrupt handler would eventually deal with a stale jiffy value. The per-cpu idle statistics information can be used to optimize power management decisions.
