Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull NOHZ updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "NOHZ enhancements, by Frederic Weisbecker, which reorganizes/refactors
  the NOHZ 'can the tick be stopped?' infrastructure and related code to
  be data driven, and harmonizes the naming and handling of all the
  various properties"

[ This makes the ugly "fetch_or()" macro that the scheduler used
  internally a new generic helper, and does a bad job at it.

  I'm pulling it, but I've asked Ingo and Frederic to get this
  fixed up ]

* 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched-clock: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model
  posix-cpu-timers: Migrate to use new tick dependency mask model
  sched: Migrate sched to use new tick dependency mask model
  sched: Account rr tasks
  perf: Migrate perf to use new tick dependency mask model
  nohz: Use enum code for tick stop failure tracing message
  nohz: New tick dependency mask
  nohz: Implement wide kick on top of irq work
  atomic: Export fetch_or()
