Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/sc…

…m/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The itimer removal one is not strictly a fix, but I really wanted to
  avoid a rebase of the urgent ones."

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  Revert "clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously"
  clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
  itimer: Use printk_once instead of WARN_ONCE
  nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()
  tick: Document TICK_ONESHOT config option
  proc: stats: Use arch_idle_time for idle and iowait times if available
  itimer: Schedule silent NULL pointer fixup in setitimer() for removal

 	of ASLR. It was only ever intended for debugging, so it should be
 	removed.
 Who:	Kees Cook <[email protected]>
+
+----------------------------
+
+What:	setitimer accepts user NULL pointer (value)
+When:	3.6
+Why:	setitimer is not returning -EFAULT if user pointer is NULL. This
+	violates the spec.
