    Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "A rather largish update for everything time and timer related:
    
       - Cache footprint optimizations for both hrtimers and timer wheel
    
       - Lower the NOHZ impact on systems which have NOHZ or timer migration
         disabled at runtime.
    
       - Optimize run time overhead of hrtimer interrupt by making the clock
         offset updates smarter
    
       - hrtimer cleanups and removal of restrictions to tackle some
         problems in sched/perf
    
       - Some more leap second tweaks
    
       - Another round of changes addressing the 2038 problem
    
       - First step to change the internals of clock event devices by
         introducing the necessary infrastructure
    
       - Allow constant folding for usecs/msecs_to_jiffies()
    
       - The usual pile of clockevent/clocksource driver updates
    
      The hrtimer changes contain updates to sched, perf and x86 as they
      depend on them plus changes all over the tree to cleanup API changes
      and redundant code, which got copied all over the place.  The y2038
      changes touch s390 to remove the last non 2038 safe code related to
      boot/persistant clock"
