Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Core:
- Robustness improvements for the NOHZ tick management
- Fixes and consolidation of the NTP/RTC synchronization code
- Small fixes and improvements in various places
- A set of function documentation udpates and fixes
Drivers:
- Cleanups and improvements in various clocksoure/event drivers
- Removal of the EZChip NPS clocksource driver as the platfrom
support was removed from ARC
- The usual set of new device tree binding and json conversions
- The RTC driver which have been acked by the RTC maintainer:
* fix a long standing bug in the MC146818 library code which can
cause reading garbage during the RTC internal update.
* changes related to the NTP/RTC consolidation work"

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.
