Merge branch 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix them posix-cpu-timers: fix clock_gettime with CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID
