Linus Torvalds 680014d6d1 Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull time(r) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of updates for timers and timekeeping:

   - The most interesting change is the consolidation of clock MONOTONIC
     and clock BOOTTIME.

     Clock MONOTONIC behaves now exactly like clock BOOTTIME and does
     not longer ignore the time spent in suspend. A new clock
     MONOTONIC_ACTIVE is provived which behaves like clock MONOTONIC in
     kernels before this change. This allows applications to
     programmatically check for the clock MONOTONIC behaviour.

     As discussed in the review thread, this has the potential of
     breaking user space and we might have to revert this. Knock on wood
     that we can avoid that exercise.

   - Updates to the NTP mechanism to improve accuracy

   - A new kernel internal data structure to aid the ongoing Y2038 work.

   - Cleanups and simplifications of the clocksource code.

   - Make the alarmtimer code play nicely with debugobjects"

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.
