Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Nothing exciting, just the usual pile of fixes, updates and cleanups:

   - A bunch of clocksource driver updates

   - Removal of CONFIG_TIMER_STATS and the related /proc file

   - More posix timer slim down work

   - A scalability enhancement in the tick broadcast code

   - Math cleanups"
