Linus,

please pull the latest timers/urgent branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-2021-07-25

up to: ff5a6a3550ce: Merge branch 'timers/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/urgent


A samll set of timer related fixes:

- Plug a race between rearm and process tick in the posix CPU timers code

- Make the optimization to avoid recalculation of the next timer interrupt
work correctly when there are no timers pending.


Thanks,

tglx
