Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timekeeping and timers departement provides:

   - Time namespace support:

     If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
     that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
     disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
     these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
     case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
     requirements.

     The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
     for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
     tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
     into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.

     Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
     by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
     complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
     potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.

     The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
     offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
     that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
     kernel configuration the code is compiled out.

     Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
     feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
     comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.

   - Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure
     that the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.

   - A new clocksource/event driver for Microchip PIT64

   - Suspend/resume support for the Hyper-V clocksource

   - The usual pile of fixes, updates and improvements mostly in the
     driver code"
