Merge branch 'timers/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/core

Pull tick/NOHZ updates from Frederic Weisbecker:

 - A fix for rare jiffies update stalls that were reported by Paul McKenney

 - Tick side cleanups after RCU_FAST_NO_HZ removal

 - Handle softirqs on idle more gracefully
