Linus Torvalds f5f59336a9 Updates for timekeeping, timers and related drivers:
Core:
 
   - Early boot support for the NMI safe timekeeper by utilizing
     local_clock() up to the point where timekeeping is initialized. This
     allows printk() to store multiple timestamps in the ringbuffer which is
     useful for coordinating dmesg information across a fleet of machines.
 
   - Provide a multi-timestamp accessor for printk()
 
   - Make timer init more robust by checking for invalid timer flags.
 
   - Comma vs. semicolon fixes
 
  Drivers:
 
   - Support for new platforms in existing drivers (SP804 and Renesas CMT)
 
   - Comma vs. semicolon fixes

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.
