Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This update provides the following changes:

   - The rework of the timer wheel which addresses the shortcomings of
     the current wheel (cascading, slow search for next expiring timer,
     etc).  That's the first major change of the wheel in almost 20
     years since Finn implemted it.

   - A large overhaul of the clocksource drivers init functions to
     consolidate the Device Tree initialization

   - Some more Y2038 updates

   - A capability fix for timerfd

   - Yet another clock chip driver

   - The usual pile of updates, comment improvements all over the place"
