linux-next: manual merge of the tip tree with the pm tree
From: Mark Brown
Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 09:45:30 EST
Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in:
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_governor.c
between commit:
24fc5870808de ("cpufreq: governor: Fix stale prev_cpu_nice spike when enabling ignore_nice_load")
from the pm tree and commit:
080b5c6d95034 ("sched/cputime: Remove superfluous and error prone kcpustat_field() parameter")
from the tip tree.
I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
