Merge tag 'timers-core-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

- Prevent a thundering herd problem when the timekeeper CPU is delayed
and a large number of CPUs compete to acquire jiffies_lock to do the
update. Limit it to one CPU with a separate "uncontended" atomic
variable.

- A set of improvements for the timer migration mechanism:

- Support imbalanced NUMA trees correctly

- Support dynamic exclusion of CPUs from the migrator duty to allow
the cpuset/isolation mechanism to exclude them from handling
timers of remote idle CPUs

- The usual small updates, cleanups and enhancements

* tag 'timers-core-2025-11-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
