Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Two fixes for the generic VDSO code which missed 5.5:

   - Make the update to the coarse timekeeper unconditional.

     This is required because the coarse timekeeper interfaces in the
     VDSO do not depend on a VDSO capable clocksource. If the system
     does not have a VDSO capable clocksource and the update is
     depending on the VDSO capable clocksource, the coarse VDSO
     interfaces would operate on stale data forever.

   - Invert the logic of __arch_update_vdso_data() to avoid further head
     scratching.

     Tripped over this several times while analyzing the update problem
     above"

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.
