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"

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