Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "Viresh unearthed the following three hickups in the timer/timekeeping code: - Negated check for the result of a clock event selection - A missing early exit in the jiffies update path which causes update_wall_time to be called for nothing causing lock contention and wasted cycles in the timer interrupt - Checking a variable in the NOHZ code enable code for true which can only be set by that very code after the check succeeds. That results in a rock solid runtime disablement of that feature" * 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: tick-sched: Check tick_nohz_enabled in tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() tick-sched: Don't call update_wall_time() when delta is lesser than tick_period tick-common: Fix wrong check in tick_check_replacement()
