Merge tag 'timers-urgent-2020-12-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Update/fix two CPU sanity checks in the hotplug and the boot code, and fix a typo in the Kconfig help text. [ Context: the first two commits are the result of an ongoing annotation+review work of (intentional) tick_do_timer_cpu() data races reported by KCSAN, but the annotations aren't fully cooked yet ]" * tag 'timers-urgent-2020-12-27' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: timekeeping: Fix spelling mistake in Kconfig "fullfill" -> "fulfill" tick/sched: Remove bogus boot "safety" check tick: Remove pointless cpu valid check in hotplug code

This option stands for testing when an arch implements the

+ context tracking backend but doesn't yet fulfill all the
requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
