Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Prevent a thundering herd problem when the timekeeper CPU is delayed
and a large number of CPUs compete to acquire jiffies_lock to do the
update. Limit it to one CPU with a separate "uncontended" atomic
variable.
- A set of improvements for the timer migration mechanism:
- Support imbalanced NUMA trees correctly
- Support dynamic exclusion of CPUs from the migrator duty to allow
the cpuset/isolation mechanism to exclude them from handling
timers of remote idle CPUs
- The usual small updates, cleanups and enhancements

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 reStructuredText 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.
