[GIT pull] timer fixes for 4.16

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sun Mar 04 2018 - 10:02:02 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

A small set of fixes from the timer departement:

- Add a missing timer wheel clock forward when migrating timers off a
unplugged CPU to prevent operating on a stale clock base and missing
timer deadlines.

- Use the proper shift count to extract data from a register value to
prevent evaluating unrelated bits

- Make the error return check in the FSL timer driver work
correctly. Checking an unsigned variable for less than zero does not
really work well.

- Clarify the confusing comments in the ARC timer code.

Thanks,

tglx
