Linus,

Please pull the latest timers/urgent Git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-2024-04-07

# HEAD: 7a96a84bfbee96871bb16c70ee3e93d564e190f4 timers/migration: Return early on deactivation

Fix various timer bugs:

- Fix a timer migration bug that may result in missed events
- Fix timer migration group hierarchy event updates
- Fix a PowerPC64 build warning
- Fix a handful of DocBook annotation bugs

Thanks,

Ingo
