Linus Torvalds b1456f6dc1 Updates for the time/timer core code:
- Rework the initialization of the posix-timer kmem_cache and move the
     cache pointer into the timer_data structure to prevent false sharing.
 
   - Switch the alarmtimer code to lock guards.
 
   - Improve the CPU selection criteria in the per CPU validation of the
     clocksource watchdog to avoid arbitrary selections (or omissions) on
     systems with a small number of CPUs.
 
   - The usual cleanups and improvements

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 reStructuredText 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.
