Subject: [GIT pull] timer updates for 3.15

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

This update brings along:

* Two fixes for long standing bugs in the hrtimer code, one which
  prevents remote enqueuing and the other preventing arbitrary delays
  after a interrupt hang was detected

* A fix in the timer wheel which prevents math overflow

* A fix for a long standing issue with the architected ARM timer
  related to the C3STOP mechanism.

* A trivial compile fix for nspire SoC clocksource

Thanks,

	tglx
