Pull timekeeping and timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Core: - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build. This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files. - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained control over the compiled in code, further reducing architecture specific storage and preparing for adopting the generic library by PPC. - Cleanup and consolidation of the exit related code in posix CPU timers. - Small cleanups and enhancements here and there Drivers: - The obligatory new drivers: Ingenic JZ47xx and X1000 TCU support - Correct the clock rate of PIT64b global clock - setup_irq() cleanup - Preparation for PWM and suspend support for the TI DM timer - Expand the fttmr010 driver to support ast2600 systems - The usual small fixes, enhancements and cleanups all over the place" * tag 'timers-core-2020-03-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (80 commits) Revert "clocksource/drivers/timer-probe: Avoid creating dead devices" vdso: Fix clocksource.h macro detection um: Fix header inclusion arm64: vdso32: Enable Clang Compilation lib/vdso: Enable common headers arm: vdso: Enable arm to use common headers x86/vdso: Enable x86 to use common headers mips: vdso: Enable mips to use common headers arm64: vdso32: Include common headers in the vdso library arm64: vdso: Include common headers in the vdso library arm64: Introduce asm/vdso/processor.h arm64: vdso32: Code clean up linux/elfnote.h: Replace elf.h with UAPI equivalent scripts: Fix the inclusion order in modpost common: Introduce processor.h linux/ktime.h: Extract common header for vDSO linux/jiffies.h: Extract common header for vDSO linux/time64.h: Extract common header for vDSO linux/time32.h: Extract common header for vDSO linux/time.h: Extract common header for vDSO ...
