Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/timers updates for v5.2
Date: Mon, 6 May 2019 12:52:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190506105212.GA45768@gmail.com> (raw)

Linus,

Please pull the latest x86-timers-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-timers-for-linus

   # HEAD: 81423c37415fe45057d64196ae0ce8e17a9c7148 x86/timer: Don't inline __const_udelay()

Two changes: an LTO improvement, plus the new 'nowatchdog' boot option to 
disable the clocksource watchdog.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
