Subject: [PATCH] nohz: ensure users are aware boot CPU is not NO_HZ_FULL
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 12:10:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390929049-17758-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)

This bit of information is in the Kconfig help text:

  Note the boot CPU will still be kept outside the range to
  handle the timekeeping duty.

However neither the variable NO_HZ_FULL_ALL, or the prompt
convey this important detail, so lets add it to the prompt
to make it more explicitly obvious to the average user.
