Merge tag 'timers-core-2025-05-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for the time/timer core code:

   - Rework the initialization of the posix-timer kmem_cache and move
     the cache pointer into the timer_data structure to prevent false
     sharing

   - Switch the alarmtimer code to lock guards

   - Improve the CPU selection criteria in the per CPU validation of the
     clocksource watchdog to avoid arbitrary selections (or omissions)
     on systems with a small number of CPUs

   - The usual cleanups and improvements"

* tag 'timers-core-2025-05-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  tick/nohz: Remove unused tick_nohz_full_add_cpus_to()
  clocksource: Fix the CPUs' choice in the watchdog per CPU verification
  alarmtimer: Switch spin_{lock,unlock}_irqsave() to guards
  alarmtimer: Remove dead return value in clock2alarm()
  time/jiffies: Change register_refined_jiffies() to void __init
  timers: Remove unused __round_jiffies(_up)
  posix-timers: Initialize cache early and move pointer into __timer_data

- * By rounding these timers to whole seconds, all such timers will fire
- * at the same time, rather than at various times spread out. The goal
- * of this is to have the CPU wake up less, which saves power.
- *
- * The exact rounding is skewed for each processor to avoid all
- * processors firing at the exact same time, which could lead
- * to lock contention or spurious cache line bouncing.
- *
- * The return value is the rounded version of the @j parameter.
