    Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · 21884a83
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "The timer changes contain:
    
       - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases
    
       - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
         duplication by other architectures
    
       - alarm timer updates
    
       - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities
    
       - clocksource/events support for new hardware
    
       - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)
    
       - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities
    
       - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place
    
      The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
      the relevant maintainers.  Though this results in an handful of
      trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
      tree merge dependencies.
    
      The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
      fixes plus the posix timer lot.  The latter was in akpms queue and
      next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
      collected them last minute."
