this pull request contains a set of fixes for tip/timers/urgent:

- Prevent ftrace recursion by adding the 'notrace' attribute to the
sched_clock read callback (Jisheng Zhang).

- Fix multiple shutdown call issue (Magnus Damm).

Beside that, the commit fc686d0037d782c994e338ecb01bfef8bbafff9f:

"clockevents/drivers/mtk: Fix spurious interrupt leading to crash"

is merged in tip/timers/core but it is needed also as a fix for 4.3. This pull
request does not contain this fix in order to prevent a conflict when merging
tip/timers/urgent into tip/timers/core.

How shall I backport this fix from 'core' to 'urgent' without bringing a
conflict when you will merge both branches ?

The simplest way is to just do nothing and when that commit hits linus
tree during the merge window, ask the stable folks to pick it up.

Ok, makes sense.

Thanks !
