85c3d2dd15be4d577a37ffb8bbbd019fc8e3280a~1 = no issue.
This means these two commits don't like each other:

seqcount: Add lockdep functionality to seqcount/seqlock structures
Currently seqlocks and seqcounts don't support lockdep.
After running across a seqcount related deadlock in the timekeeping
code, I used a less-refined and more focused variant of this patch
to narrow down the cause of the issue.
This is a first-pass attempt to properly enable lockdep functionality
on seqlocks and seqcounts.
Since seqcounts are used in the vdso gettimeofday code, I've provided
non-lockdep accessors for those needs.
I've also handled one case where there were nested seqlock writers
and there may be more edge cases.
Comments and feedback would be appreciated!

sched_clock: Use seqcount instead of rolling our own
We're going to increase the cyc value to 64 bits in the near
future. Doing that is going to break the custom seqcount
implementation in the sched_clock code because 64 bit numbers
aren't guaranteed to be atomic. Replace the cyc_copy with a
seqcount to avoid this problem.
