Merge tag 'timers-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer subsystem updates from Ingo Molnar: - Various preparatory cleanups & enhancements of the timer-wheel code, in preparation for the WIP 'pull timers at expiry' timer migration model series (which will replace the current 'push timers at enqueue' migration model), by Anna-Maria Behnsen: - Update comments and clean up confusing variable names - Add debug check to warn about time travel - Improve/expand timer-wheel tracepoints - Optimize away unnecessary IPIs for deferrable timers - Restructure & clean up next_expiry_recalc() - Clean up forward_timer_base() - Introduce __forward_timer_base() and use it to simplify and micro-optimize get_next_timer_interrupt() - Restructure the get_next_timer_interrupt()'s idle logic for better readability and to enable a minor optimization. - Fix the nextevt calculation when no timers are pending - Fix the sysfs_get_uname() prototype declaration * tag 'timers-core-2024-01-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: timers: Fix nextevt calculation when no timers are pending timers: Rework idle logic timers: Use already existing function for forwarding timer base timers: Split out forward timer base functionality timers: Clarify check in forward_timer_base() timers: Move store of next event into __next_timer_interrupt() timers: Do not IPI for deferrable timers tracing/timers: Add tracepoint for tracking timer base is_idle flag tracing/timers: Enhance timer_start tracepoint tick-sched: Warn when next tick seems to be in the past tick/sched: Cleanup confusing variables tick-sched: Fix function names in comments time: Make sysfs_get_uname() function visible in header
