Merge tag 'timers-urgent-2026-03-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fix from Ingo Molnar: "Improve the inlining of jiffies_to_msecs() and jiffies_to_usecs(), for the common HZ=100, 250 or 1000 cases. Only use a function call for odd HZ values like HZ=300 that generate more code. The function call overhead showed up in performance tests of the TCP code" * tag 'timers-urgent-2026-03-01' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: time/jiffies: Inline jiffies_to_msecs() and jiffies_to_usecs()
