Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
- Add the initial implementation of SCHED_DEADLINE support: a real-time
scheduling policy where tasks that meet their deadlines and
periodically execute their instances in less than their runtime quota
see real-time scheduling and won't miss any of their deadlines.
Tasks that go over their quota get delayed (Available to privileged
users for now)
- Clean up and fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse all around the
tree
- Do sched_clock() performance optimizations on x86 and elsewhere
- Fix and improve auto-NUMA balancing
- Fix and clean up the idle loop
- Apply various cleanups and fixes
