Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-timers-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-timers-for-linus

# HEAD: 81423c37415fe45057d64196ae0ce8e17a9c7148 x86/timer: Don't inline __const_udelay()

Two changes: an LTO improvement, plus the new 'nowatchdog' boot option to
disable the clocksource watchdog.

Thanks,

Ingo
