to update linux-next to the latest bits in -tip, you can perhaps do 
something like this:

 git-merge tip/auto-x86-next
 git-merge tip/auto-core-next
 git-merge tip/auto-cpus4096-next
 git-merge tip/auto-ftrace-next
 git-merge tip/auto-generic-ipi-next
 git-merge tip/auto-genirq-next
 git-merge tip/auto-latest
 git-merge tip/auto-safe-poison-pointers-next
 git-merge tip/auto-sched-next
 git-merge tip/auto-stackprotector-next
 git-merge tip/auto-timers-next

but it's easily possible that the bug is in some other portion of 
linux-next.
