[GIT PULL][PATCH 0/2] Timekeeping items for 4.8 via tip/timers/urgent

From: John Stultz
Date: Tue Aug 23 2016 - 19:08:34 EST


Hey Thomas, Ingo,
Wanted to submit the following changes for review and inclusion for
tip/timers/urgent. The first is a fix for an NMI safety issue Steven
pointed out last week and the other is a potential memory corruption
issue.

Let me know if you have any objections.

thanks
