Hi All, I'm about to compile a new kernel and running oldconfig brings up this new set of options. There is no help available, grep-ping through the Documentation wasn't particularly revealing and I haven't found anything in Google to help me decide what I need/want out of the three: =================================================== * CPU/Task time and stats accounting * Cputime accounting 1. Simple tick based cputime accounting (TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING) > 2. Full dynticks CPU time accounting (VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN) (NEW) 3. Fine granularity task level IRQ time accounting (IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING) choice[1-3]: ? There is no help available for this option. Prompt: Cputime accounting Location: -> General setup -> CPU/Task time and stats accounting Defined at init/Kconfig:297 Selected by: m =================================================== Option 2 seems to have been selected by default, but I am not sure if this is right for a laptop. What have you chosen and why? -- Regards, Mick
