[PATCH 0/2] nohz: Avoid double clock write

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

Hi Thomas,

The tick reschedules itself unconditionally. That's what we want as long
as the CPU is in periodic mode. It's not that relevant when the CPU
is in dynticks mode though as the clock write is likely to be overwritten
by the nohz code on irq exit.

In low-res mode, that even result in unexpected periodic behaviour when
no timer is scheduled in the future.

So here is a set that proposes the removal of these double writes.

	origin/nohz/drop-double-write-v2

Thanks,
	Frederic
