Linus Torvalds 4312e0e8d3 A few fixes for timers/timekeeping:
- Prevent undefined behaviour in the timespec64_to_ns() conversion which
     is used for converting user supplied time input to nanoseconds. It
     lacked overflow protection.
 
   - Mark sched_clock_read_begin/retry() to prevent recursion in the tracer
 
   - Remove unused debug functions in the hrtimer and timerlist code

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
