Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (62 commits)
  posix-clocks: Check write permissions in posix syscalls
  hrtimer: Remove empty hrtimer_init_hres_timer()
  hrtimer: Update hrtimer->state documentation
  hrtimer: Update base[CLOCK_BOOTTIME].offset correctly
  timers: Export CLOCK_BOOTTIME via the posix timers interface
  timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
  time: Extend get_xtime_and_monotonic_offset() to also return sleep
  time: Introduce get_monotonic_boottime and ktime_get_boottime
  hrtimers: extend hrtimer base code to handle more then 2 clockids
  ntp: Remove redundant and incorrect parameter check
  mn10300: Switch do_timer() to xtimer_update()
  posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks
  posix-timers: Cleanup namespace
  posix-timers: Add support for fd based clocks
  x86: Add clock_adjtime for x86
  posix-timers: Introduce a syscall for clock tuning.
  time: Splitout compat timex accessors
  ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET mode bit
  time: Introduce timekeeping_inject_offset
  posix-timer: Update comment
  ...

Fix up new system-call-related conflicts in
	arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S
	arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_32.h
	arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_64.h
	arch/x86/kernel/syscall_table_32.S
(name_to_handle_at()/open_by_handle_at() vs clock_adjtime()), and some
due to movement of get_jiffies_64() in:
	kernel/time.c
