+ * tick_do_timer_cpu is a timer core internal variable which holds the CPU NR
+ * which is responsible for calling do_timer(), i.e. the timekeeping stuff. This
+ * variable has two functions:
+ *
+ * 1) Prevent a thundering herd issue of a gazillion of CPUs trying to grab the
+ * timekeeping lock all at once. Only the CPU which is assigned to do the
+ * update is handling it.
+ *
+ * 2) Hand off the duty in the NOHZ idle case by setting the value to
+ * TICK_DO_TIMER_NONE, i.e. a non existing CPU. So the next cpu which looks
+ * at it will take over and keep the time keeping alive. The handover
+ * procedure also covers cpu hotplug.
