Linus,

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

# HEAD: d4af6d933ccffd24286528f04d5c39e702c8580f nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync

The main changes in this cycle relate to fixing another bad (but sporadic and hard
to detect) interaction between the dynticks scheduler tick and hrtimers, plus
related improvements to better detection and handling of similar problems - by
Frédéric Weisbecker.

Thanks,

Ingo

------------------>
Frederic Weisbecker (5):
nohz: Add hrtimer sanity check
nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers, again
nohz: Reset next_tick cache even when the timer has no regs
nohz: Fix buggy tick delay on IRQ storms
nohz: Fix spurious warning when hrtimer and clockevent get out of sync
