Subject: [RFC 0/3] tick-sched cleanups

Hello,
Here are some things I noticed which could be improved in the tick-sched code.
I still have to work on the third patch a bit more. I have done some basic
testing on the patches and I am looking for any feedback!

Thanks.

Joel Fernandes (Google) (3):
  tick-sched: Remove last_tick and calculate next tick from now
  tick-sched: Keep tick on if hrtimer is due imminently
  tick-sched: Replace jiffie readout with idle_entrytime
