Subject: [GIT pull] timer fixes for 4.12

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

Three fixlets for timers:

      - Two hot-fixes for the alarmtimer based posix timers, which prevent
        a nasty DOS by self rescheduling timers. The proper cleanup of that
        mess is queued for 4.13

      - Make a function static

Thanks,

	tglx

      tick/broadcast: Make tick_broadcast_setup_oneshot() static

Thomas Gleixner (2):
      alarmtimer: Prevent overflow of relative timers
      alarmtimer: Rate limit periodic intervals
