Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Nothing exciting, just the usual pile of fixes, updates and cleanups:

   - A bunch of clocksource driver updates

   - Removal of CONFIG_TIMER_STATS and the related /proc file

   - More posix timer slim down work

   - A scalability enhancement in the tick broadcast code

   - Math cleanups"

+* Renesas OS Timer (OSTM)
+
+The OSTM is a multi-channel 32-bit timer/counter with fixed clock
+source that can operate in either interval count down timer or free-running
+compare match mode.
+
+Channels are independent from each other.
+
+Required Properties:
+
+  - compatible: must be one or more of the following:
+    - "renesas,r7s72100-ostm" for the r7s72100 OSTM
+    - "renesas,ostm" for any OSTM
+		This is a fallback for the above renesas,*-ostm entries
+
+  - reg: base address and length of the register block for a timer channel.
+
+  - interrupts: interrupt specifier for the timer channel.
+
+  - clocks: clock specifier for the timer channel.
+
+Example: R7S72100 (RZ/A1H) OSTM node
+
+	ostm0: timer@fcfec000 {
+		compatible = "renesas,r7s72100-ostm", "renesas,ostm";
+		reg = <0xfcfec000 0x30>;
+		interrupts = <GIC_SPI 102 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;

-timer_stats - timer usage statistics
-------------------------------------
-
-timer_stats is a debugging facility to make the timer (ab)usage in a Linux
-system visible to kernel and userspace developers. If enabled in the config
-but not used it has almost zero runtime overhead, and a relatively small
-data structure overhead. Even if collection is enabled runtime all the
-locking is per-CPU and lookup is hashed.
-
-timer_stats should be used by kernel and userspace developers to verify that
-their code does not make unduly use of timers. This helps to avoid unnecessary
-wakeups, which should be avoided to optimize power consumption.
-
-It can be enabled by CONFIG_TIMER_STATS in the "Kernel hacking" configuration
-section.
-
-timer_stats collects information about the timer events which are fired in a
-Linux system over a sample period:
-
-- the pid of the task(process) which initialized the timer
-- the name of the process which initialized the timer
-- the function where the timer was initialized
-- the callback function which is associated to the timer
-- the number of events (callbacks)
-
-timer_stats adds an entry to /proc: /proc/timer_stats
-
-This entry is used to control the statistics functionality and to read out the
-sampled information.
-
-The timer_stats functionality is inactive on bootup.
-
-To activate a sample period issue:
-# echo 1 >/proc/timer_stats
-
-To stop a sample period issue:
-# echo 0 >/proc/timer_stats
-
-The statistics can be retrieved by:
-# cat /proc/timer_stats
-
-While sampling is enabled, each readout from /proc/timer_stats will see
-newly updated statistics. Once sampling is disabled, the sampled information
-is kept until a new sample period is started. This allows multiple readouts.
-
-Sample output of /proc/timer_stats:
