Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of fixes for time(r) related issues:
- Fix a long standing conversion issue in jiffies_to_msecs() for odd
HZ values like 1024 or 1200 which resulted in returning 0 for small
jiffies values due to rounding down.
- Use the proper CONFIG symbol in the new Y2038 safe compat code for
posix-timers. Not yet a visible breakage, but this will immediately
trigger when the architecture support for the new interfaces is
merged.
- Return an error code in the STM32 clocksource driver on failure
instead of success.
- Remove the redundant and stale irq disabled check in the posix cpu
timer code. The check is at the wrong place anyway and lockdep
already covers it via the sighand lock locking coverage"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
