This patch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?h=x86/urgent&id=1ddf0b1b11aa8a90cef6706e935fc31c75c406ba is tagged for stable and should show up in Linus' tree this weekend. Baesd on my preliminary understanding of a Fedora bug report, this bug this fixes wasn't just a performance issue; it fixes an infinite loop when clock_gettime is called under some circumstances. It should be backported to 3.8 and newer once it lands in Linus' tree, but the patch won't apply. Should I send a trivial backported version, or is it easier for you all to backport it manually (it's one line)?
