Subject: [GIT pull] timer fixes for 4.16

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

A small set of fixes from the timer departement:

 - Add a missing timer wheel clock forward when migrating timers off a
   unplugged CPU to prevent operating on a stale clock base and missing
   timer deadlines.

 - Use the proper shift count to extract data from a register value to
   prevent evaluating unrelated bits

 - Make the error return check in the FSL timer driver work
   correctly. Checking an unsigned variable for less than zero does not
   really work well.

 - Clarify the confusing comments in the ARC timer code.

Thanks,

	tglx
