[GIT pull] timer fixes for 3.4

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Apr 12 2012 - 18:06:25 EST


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


The itimer removal one is not strictly a fix, but I really wanted to
avoid a rebase of the urgent ones.

Thanks,

tglx

------------------>
Martin Schwidefsky (1):
proc: stats: Use arch_idle_time for idle and iowait times if available

Neal Cardwell (1):
nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()

Sasikantha babu (1):
itimer: Schedule silent NULL pointer fixup in setitimer() for removal

Suresh Siddha (1):
clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()

Thomas Gleixner (3):
tick: Document TICK_ONESHOT config option
itimer: Use printk_once instead of WARN_ONCE
Revert "clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously"

Why: The old kmap_atomic() with two arguments is deprecated, we only
keep it for backward compatibility for few cycles and then drop it.
Who: Cong Wang <amwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

+----------------------------

+What: setitimer accepts user NULL pointer (value)
+When: 3.6
+Why: setitimer is not returning -EFAULT if user pointer is NULL. This
+ violates the spec.
