Linus Torvalds 84c2e17951 Timers and timekeeping updates:
Core code:
 
     - Make the NOHZ handling of the timekeeping/tick core more robust to
       prevent a rare jiffies update stall.
 
     - Handle softirqs in the NOHZ/idle case correctly
 
  Drivers:
 
     - Add support for event stream scaling of the 1GHz counter on ARM(64)
 
     - Correct an error code check in the timer-of layer
 
     - The usual cleanups and improvements all over the place

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 Restructured Text 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.
