-          Probe on user/kernel boundaries by default in order to
-          test the features that rely on it such as userspace RCU extended
-          quiescent states.
-          This test is there for debugging until we have a real user like the
-          full dynticks mode.
+          The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
+          support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
+          other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
+          dynticks working.
+
+          This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
+          context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
+          requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
+          Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
+          for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
+          userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
+          accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
+          dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
+          CPUs in the system.
+
+          Say Y only if you're working on the developpement of an
+          architecture backend for the context tracking.
+
+          Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
+          don't want in production.
