From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Dec 17 2017 - 10:07:32 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

A single bugfix which prevents arbitrary sigev_notify values in
posix-timers.

Thanks,

tglx
