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

Pull NOHZ updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes, mostly written by Frederic Weisbecker, include:

   - Fix some jiffies based cputime assumptions.  (No real harm because
     the concerned code isn't used by full dynticks.)

   - Simplify jiffies <-> usecs conversions.  Remove dead code.

   - Remove early hacks on nohz full code that avoided messing up idle
     nohz internals.  Now nohz integrates well full and idle and such
     hack have become needless.

   - Restart nohz full tick from irq exit.  (A simplification and a
     preparation for future optimization on scheduler kick to nohz
     full)

   - Code cleanups.

   - Tile driver isolation enhancement on top of nohz.  (Chris Metcalf)"

* 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  nohz: Remove useless argument on tick_nohz_task_switch()
  nohz: Move tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() above its users
  nohz: Restart nohz full tick from irq exit
  nohz: Remove idle task special case
  nohz: Prevent tilegx network driver interrupts
  alpha: Fix jiffies based cputime assumption
  apm32: Fix cputime == jiffies assumption
  jiffies: Remove HZ > USEC_PER_SEC special case
