[GIT pull] NOHZ changes for 4.2

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Jun 22 2015 - 04:44:40 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest timers-nohz-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-nohz-for-linus

A few updates to the nohz infrastructure:

- Recursion protection for context tracking

- Make the TIF_NOHZ inheritance smarter

- Isolate cpus which belong to the NOHZ full set


Thanks,

tglx

------------------>
Chris Metcalf (2):
nohz: Add tick_nohz_full_add_cpus_to() API
nohz: Set isolcpus when nohz_full is set

Frederic Weisbecker (2):
context_tracking: Protect against recursion
context_tracking: Inherit TIF_NOHZ through forks instead of context switches
