Linus,

please pull the latest timers/urgent branch from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-2020-04-19

up to:  94d440d61846: proc, time/namespace: Show clock symbolic names in /proc/pid/timens_offsets


An update for the proc interface of time namespaces: Use symbolic names
instead of clockid numbers. The usability nuisance of numbers was noticed
by Michael when polishing the man page.

Thanks,

	tglx
