    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
     "This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
      timers/timekeeping.
    
       - Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
         helpful and caused more confusion than clarity
    
       - Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
         the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
         timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
         some time ago.
    
         That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.
    
      Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
      manual mopping up"
