- Various preparatory cleanups & enhancements of the timer-wheel code,
in preparation for the WIP 'pull timers at expiry' timer migration model
series (which will replace the current 'push timers at enqueue' migration
model), by Anna-Maria Behnsen:
- Update comments and clean up confusing variable names
- Add debug check to warn about time travel
- Improve/expand timer-wheel tracepoints
- Optimize away unnecessary IPIs for deferrable timers
- Restructure & clean up next_expiry_recalc()
- Clean up forward_timer_base()
- Introduce __forward_timer_base() and use it to simplify
and micro-optimize get_next_timer_interrupt()
- Restructure the get_next_timer_interrupt()'s idle logic
for better readability and to enable a minor optimization.
- Fix the nextevt calculation when no timers are pending
- Fix the sysfs_get_uname() prototype declaration

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
