    Pull timer updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The main changes in the timer code in this cycle were:
    
       - Clockevent updates:
    
          - timer-of framework cleanups. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
    
          - Use timer-of for the renesas-ostm and the device name to prevent
            name collision in case of multiple timers. (Geert Uytterhoeven)
    
          - Check if there is an error after calling of_clk_get in asm9260
            (Chuhong Yuan)
    
       - ABI fix: Zero out high order bits of nanoseconds on compat
         syscalls. This got broken a year ago, with apparently no side
         effects so far.
    
         Since the kernel would use random data otherwise I don't think we'd
         have other options but to fix the bug, even if there was a side
         effect to applications (Dmitry Safonov)
    
       - Optimize ns_to_timespec64() on 32-bit systems: move away from
         div_s64_rem() which can be slow, to div_u64_rem() which is faster
         (Arnd Bergmann)
    
       - Annotate KCSAN-reported false positive data races in
         hrtimer_is_queued() users by moving timer->state handling over to
         the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() APIs. This documents these accesses
         (Eric Dumazet)
    
       - Misc cleanups and small fixes"
    
    [ I undid the "ABI fix" and updated the comments instead. The reason
      there were apparently no side effects is that the fix was a no-op.
    
      The updated comment is to say _why_ it was a no-op.    - Linus ]
    
    * 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
      time: Zero the upper 32-bits in __kernel_timespec on 32-bit
      time: Rename tsk->real_start_time to ->start_boottime
      hrtimer: Remove the comment about not used HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ
      time: Fix spelling mistake in comment
      time: Optimize ns_to_timespec64()
      hrtimer: Annotate lockless access to timer->state
      clocksource/drivers/asm9260: Add a check for of_clk_get
      clocksource/drivers/renesas-ostm: Use unique device name instead of ostm
      clocksource/drivers/renesas-ostm: Convert to timer_of
      clocksource/drivers/timer-of: Use unique device name instead of timer
      clocksource/drivers/timer-of: Convert last full_name to %pOF
