Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - timekeeping: Cure a subtle drift issue on GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD

 - nohz: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off command line option behave the
   same way.  Fixes a long standing load accounting wreckage.

 - clocksource/ARM: Kconfig update to avoid ARM=n wreckage

 - clocksource/ARM: Fixlets for the AT91 and SH clocksource/clockevents

 - Trivial documentation update and kzalloc conversion from akpms pile

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  nohz: Fix another inconsistency between CONFIG_NO_HZ=n and nohz=off
  time: Fix 1ns/tick drift w/ GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL_OLD
  clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Hide eventstream Kconfig on non-ARM
  clocksource: sh_tmu: Add clk_prepare/unprepare support
  clocksource: sh_tmu: Release clock when sh_tmu_register() fails
  clocksource: sh_mtu2: Add clk_prepare/unprepare support
  clocksource: sh_mtu2: Release clock when sh_mtu2_register() fails
  ARM: at91: rm9200: switch back to clockevents_config_and_register
  tick: Document tick_do_timer_cpu
  timer: Convert kmalloc_node(...GFP_ZERO...) to kzalloc_node(...)
  NOHZ: Check for nohz active instead of nohz enabled
