Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Time, timers and related driver updates:
- Prevent unnecessary timer softirq invocations by extending the
tracking of the next expiring timer in the timer wheel beyond the
existing NOHZ functionality.
The tracking overhead at enqueue time is within the noise, but on
sensitive workloads the avoidance of the soft interrupt invocation
is a measurable improvement.
- The obligatory new clocksource driver for Ingenic X100 OST
- The usual fixes, improvements, cleanups and extensions for newer
chip variants all over the driver space"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
