  cleanups."

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  time: Kill xtime_lock, replacing it with jiffies_lock
  clocksource: arm_generic: use this_cpu_ptr per-cpu helper
  clocksource: arm_generic: use integer math helpers
  time/jiffies: Make clocksource_jiffies static
  clocksource: clean up parse_pmtmr()
  tick: Correct the comments for tick_sched_timer()
  tick: Conditionally build nohz specific code in tick handler
  tick: Consolidate tick handling for high and low res handlers
  tick: Consolidate timekeeping handling code
