Merge branch 'timers/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/urgent
Pull nohz updates/fixes from Frederic Weisbecker: ' Note that "watchdog: Boot-disable by default on full dynticks" is a temporary solution to solve the issue with the watchdog that prevents the tick from stopping. This is to make sure that 3.11 doesn't have that problem as several people complained about it. A proper and longer term solution has been proposed by Peterz: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130618103632.GO3204@twins.programming.kicks-ass.net ' Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
