Linus Torvalds 61ca6c7829 Two fixes for the timer/clocksource code:
- The recent fix for making the take over of the broadcast timer more
       reliable retrieves a per CPU pointer in preemptible context.
       This went unnoticed in testing as some compilers hoist the access into
       the non-preemotible section where the pointer is actually used, but
       obviously compilers can rightfully invoke it where the code put it.
 
       Move it into the non-preemptible section right to the actual usage
       side to cure it.
 
     - The clocksource watchdog is supposed to emit a warning when the retry
       count is greater than one and the number of retries reaches the
       limit. The condition is backwards and warns always when the count is
       greater than one. Fixup the condition to prevent spamming dmesg.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
