    Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · a0fa1dd3
    Linus Torvalds authored
    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
