Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Three fixlets from the timer departement:
- Update the timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock. This
fixes the kvm-clock regression reported by Chris and Paolo.
- Use the proper irq work interface from NMI. This fixes the
regression reported by Catalin and Dave.
- Clarify the compat_nanosleep error handling mechanism to avoid
future confusion"
