Subject: [git pull] timer fixes
Linus,
Please pull the latest timers-fixes-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git timers-fixes-for-linus
Special mention for this commit:
hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hanging
We found it useful in the case where a very slow (or very emulated) system
is overwhelmed with HZ irqs - we get a kernel message and some throttling,
instead of a hard lockup in essence. If that kind of approach is not
acceptable we can remove this patch and resend the other fixes.
Thanks,
Ingo
