The patch titled
sched: make cpu_clock() not use the rq clock
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sched-make-cpu_clock-not-use-the-rq-clock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sched: make cpu_clock() not use the rq clock
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>
It is enough to disable interrupts to get the precise rq-clock of the local
CPU.
This also solves an NMI watchdog regression: the NMI watchdog calls
touch_softlockup_watchdog(), which might deadlock on rq->lock if the NMI
hits an rq-locked critical section.
