Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"This adds a new timer wheel function which is required for the
conversion of the timer callback function from the 'unsigned long
data' argument to 'struct timer_list *timer'. This conversion has two
benefits:
1) It makes struct timer_list smaller
2) Many callers hand in a pointer to the timer or to the structure
containing the timer, which happens via type casting both at setup
and in the callback. This change gets rid of the typecasts.
Once the conversion is complete, which is planned for 4.15, the old
setup function and the intermediate typecast in the new setup function
go away along with the data field in struct timer_list.
Merging this now into mainline allows a smooth queueing of the actual
conversion in the affected maintainer trees without creating
dependencies"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
