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

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A pile of fixes for long standing issues with the timer wheel and the
  NOHZ code:

   - Prevent timer base confusion accross the nohz switch, which can
     cause unlocked access and data corruption

   - Reinitialize the stale base clock on cpu hotplug to prevent subtle
     side effects including rollovers on 32bit

   - Prevent an interrupt storm when the timer softirq is already
     pending caused by tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()

   - Move the timer start tracepoint to a place where it actually makes
     sense

   - Add documentation to timerqueue functions as they caused confusion
     several times now"

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  timerqueue: Document return values of timerqueue_add/del()
  timers: Invoke timer_start_debug() where it makes sense
  nohz: Prevent a timer interrupt storm in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
  timers: Reinitialize per cpu bases on hotplug
  timers: Use deferrable base independent of base::nohz_active
