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

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer departement provides:

   - More y2038 work in the area of ntp and pps.

   - Optimization of posix cpu timers

   - New time related selftests

   - Some new clocksource drivers

   - The usual pile of fixes, cleanups and improvements"
