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

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."
