Subject: [PATCH 0/2 v2] nohz: fix idle accounting in NO_HZ kernels

Hi all,

This patch set (rebased on v3.14-rc8) will fix an issue that
idle/iowait of /proc/stat can go backward. Originally reported
by Tetsuo and Fernando at last year, Mar 2013.

v2 have Preeti's Reviewed-by (Thanks!).
Of course still reviews are welcome.

Thanks,
H.Seto

      nohz: use seqlock to avoid race on idle time stats v2
      nohz, procfs: introduce get_cpu_idle/iowait_time_coarse
