Linus Torvalds fc1dc0d507 Updates for x86 timers:
- Use the topology information of number of packages for making the
     decision about TSC trust instead of using the number of online nodes
     which is not reflecting the real topology.
 
   - Stop the PIT timer 0 when its not in use as to stop pointless emulation
     in the VMM.
 
   - Fix the PIT timer stop sequence for timer 0 so it truly stops both real
     hardware and buggy VMM emulations.

Pull x86 timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Use the topology information of number of packages for making the
   decision about TSC trust instead of using the number of online nodes
   which is not reflecting the real topology.

 - Stop the PIT timer 0 when its not in use as to stop pointless
   emulation in the VMM.

 - Fix the PIT timer stop sequence for timer 0 so it truly stops both
   real hardware and buggy VMM emulations.

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 reStructuredText 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.
