How to change CONFIG_HZ parameter for Linux Kernel

ByEric Ma

If we want to change the tick time for Linux Kernel, we need to change CONFIG_HZ parameter in Linux Kernel. Do we have other better ways to change it rather than compiling Linux Kernel. Please ignore the way to add ‘divider=10’ in grub config file because it is limited only for RH/CentOS distros.

Zhiqiang, please answer this question if you know it. I cannot find the answer after Google for a long time. Thank you.

The HZ variable is extensively used as a macro, such as in
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e4fba88d00d21f50239eac7d653027bfaf844296/kernel/time/time.c#L277

This is likely for performance.

This may make it compile-time configurable only.

So it can only be changed by compiling a new Kernel.

  • Java与C++在语言方面上的不同

    ByEric Ma

    1，Java抛弃了头文件、预处理机制、goto语句和多维数组。 2，Java不支持指针。 3，Java抛弃了联合体和结构体。 4，Java不支持独立函数。所有函数必须在类中声明。 5，Java不支持多重继承，可以使用接口模拟多重继承。 6，Java不支持运算符重载。 7，Java中布尔型不再用整数来代替。 8，Java中主函数必须有一个字符串类型的参数。 Java抛弃的C++中的这些机制和结构多数都是“危险”的，减少了语言的复杂性，增强了安全性，虽然在一定程度上减少了其灵活性。 Read more: Java Calling Native Functions in .DLL on Windows OCaml Learning Materials Vim Indenting C/C++ Code How to Generate Mixed Source and Assembly List from Source Code using GCC Hashing Library for C Notes for Beginners of Software Development on Linux How to iterate all…
