           Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
           or real-time system.  Say N if you are unsure.

+        help
+          Select this option if you want to disable continuous timer ticks
+          and have them programmed to occur as required. This option saves
+          power as the system can remain in idle state for longer.
+
+          By default dynamic tick is disabled during the boot, and can be
+          manually enabled with:
+
+            echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
+
+          Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
+          during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
