Our debian 8 systems currently run idle tickless mode:
vext01@bencher3:~$ cat /boot/config-`uname -r` | grep HZ
CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set <--------------------- this would need to be on!
# CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set
CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_250=y
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
CONFIG_HZ=250
CONFIG_MACHZ_WDT=m
To fix this, we would need to build a custom kernel. Another impractical step unfortunately.
