Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Three fixlets from the timer departement: - Update the timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock. This fixes the kvm-clock regression reported by Chris and Paolo. - Use the proper irq work interface from NMI. This fixes the regression reported by Catalin and Dave. - Clarify the compat_nanosleep error handling mechanism to avoid future confusion" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: timekeeping: Update timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock compat: nanosleep: Clarify error handling nohz: Restore NMI safe local irq work for local nohz kick
