When merged to -tip it causes this build error:

 kernel/time/tick-sched.c:186:3: error: 'have_nohz_full_mask' undeclared (first use in this function)
 kernel/time/tick-sched.c:345:2: error: 'cpu' undeclared (first use in this function)

config attached.

I did what looked like to be an obvious conflict resolution to 
tick-sched.c (attached), please double check that too.

While at it, mind rebasing your changes to tip:timers/urgent, which has a 
few nohz fixes pending as well?

Thanks,

	Ingo
