Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Three fixlets from the timer departement:

   - Update the timekeeper before updating vsyscall and pvclock.  This
     fixes the kvm-clock regression reported by Chris and Paolo.

   - Use the proper irq work interface from NMI.  This fixes the
     regression reported by Catalin and Dave.

   - Clarify the compat_nanosleep error handling mechanism to avoid
     future confusion"
