Linus Torvalds 560b803067 Updates for timekeeping, timers and clockevent/source drivers:
Core:
 
     - Yet another round of improvements to make the clocksource watchdog
       more robust:
 
       	 - Relax the clocksource-watchdog skew criteria to match the NTP
            criteria.
 
 	 - Temporarily skip the watchdog when high memory latencies are
 	   detected which can lead to false-positives.
 
 	 - Provide an option to enable TSC skew detection even on systems
            where TSC is marked as reliable.
 
       Sigh!
 
     - Initialize the restart block in the nanosleep syscalls to be directed
       to the no restart function instead of doing a partial setup on entry.
 
       This prevents an erroneous restart_syscall() invocation from
       corrupting user space data. While such a situation is clearly a user
       space bug, preventing this is a correctness issue and caters to the
       least suprise principle.
 
     - Ignore the hrtimer slack for realtime tasks in schedule_hrtimeout()
       to align it with the nanosleep semantics.
 
   Drivers:
 
     - The obligatory new driver bindings for Mediatek, Rockchip and RISC-V
       variants.
 
     - Add support for the C3STOP misfeature to the RISC-V timer to handle
       the case where the timer stops in deeper idle state.
 
     - Set up a static key in the RISC-V timer correctly before first use.
 
     - The usual small improvements and fixes all over the place

README

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.
