Linus,

please pull the latest timers/urgent branch from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-2020-02-09

up to: febac332a819: clocksource: Prevent double add_timer_on() for watchdog_timer


Two small fixes for the time(r) subsystem:

- Handle a subtle race between the clocksource watchdog and a concurrent
clocksource watchdog stop/start sequence correctly to prevent a timer
double add bug.

- Fix the file path for the core time namespace file.


Thanks,

tglx
