Merge tag 'timers_urgent_for_v6.8_rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Preserve the number of idle calls and sleep entries across CPU
hotplug events in order to be able to compute correct averages
- Limit the duration of the clocksource watchdog checking interval as
too long intervals lead to wrongly marking the TSC as unstable

tick/sched: Preserve number of idle sleeps across CPU hotplug events
