Subject: [GIT PULL][PATCH 0/2] Timekeeping items for 4.8 via tip/timers/urgent

Hey Thomas, Ingo,
  Wanted to submit the following changes for review and inclusion for
tip/timers/urgent. The first is a fix for an NMI safety issue Steven
pointed out last week and the other is a potential memory corruption
issue.

Let me know if you have any objections.

thanks
-john
