Linus Torvalds 6e01f86fb2 Updates for timers and timekeeping core code:
- Expose CLOCK_TAI to instrumentation to aid with TSN debugging.
 
   - Ensure that the clockevent is stopped when there is no timer armed to
     avoid pointless wakeups.
 
   - Make the sched clock frequency handling and rounding consistent.
 
   - Provide a better debugobject hint for delayed works. The timer callback
     is always the same, which makes it difficult to identify the underlying
     work. Use the work function as a hint instead.
 
   - Move the timer specific sysctl code into the timer subsystem.
 
   - The usual set of improvements and cleanups

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.
