Subject: [GIT pull] sched/urgent for 5.7-rc2

Linus,

please pull the latest sched/urgent branch from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-2020-04-19

up to:  e0d648f9d883: sched/vtime: Work around an unitialized variable warning


Two fixes for the scheduler:

 - Work around an uninitializaed variable warning where GCC can't figure it
   out.

 - Allow 'isolcpus=' to skip unknown subparameters so that older kernels
   work with the commandline of a newer kernel. Improve the error output
   while at it.

Thanks,

	tglx
