Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull NOHZ fix from Ingo Molnar:
 "This fixes an old NOHZ race where we incorrectly calculate the next
  timer interrupt in certain circumstances where hrtimers are pending,
  that can cause hard to reproduce stalled-values artifacts in
  /proc/stat"

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  nohz: Fix collision between tick and other hrtimers
