Thomas Gleixner 35e13e9da9 Merge branch 'clocksource' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into timers/core
Pull clocksource watchdog updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources by rejecting
   clocksource measurements where the source of the skew is the delay
   reading reference clocksource itself.  This change avoids many of the
   current false positives caused by epic cache-thrashing workloads.

 - Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2, thus offsetting
   the increased overhead due to #1 above rereading the reference
   clocksource.

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.
