    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
     "Yet another big pile of changes:
    
       - More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
         need to think about the syscalls themself.
    
       - A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
         only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
         than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
         multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
         time at the call site.
    
       - A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
         work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
    
       - A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
         collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
         simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
         trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
         unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
    
       - Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
    
       - Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
         hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
         seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
         No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
    
       - The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
         really exciting"
