Subject: [GIT pull] core udpate for 5.1

Linus,

please pull the latest core-core-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git core-core-for-linus

A single commit adding a command line parameter which allows to set the
watchdog threshold on the kernel command-line, so kernels with massive
debug facilities enabled won't trigger the watchdog during early boot and
before the threshold can be changed via sysctl.


Thanks,

	tglx
