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 * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (60 commits) sched: Fix __sched_setscheduler() nice test sched: Move SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK into attr::sched_flags sched: Fix up attr::sched_priority warning sched: Fix up scheduler syscall LTP fails sched: Preserve the nice level over sched_setscheduler() and sched_setparam() calls sched/core: Fix htmldocs warnings sched/deadline: No need to check p if dl_se is valid sched/deadline: Remove unused variables sched/deadline: Fix sparse static warnings m68k: Fix build warning in mac_via.h sched, thermal: Clean up preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse sched, net: Fixup busy_loop_us_clock() sched, net: Clean up preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse sched/preempt: Fix up missed PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED folding sched/preempt, locking: Rework local_bh_{dis,en}able() sched/clock, x86: Avoid a runtime condition in native_sched_clock() sched/clock: Fix up clear_sched_clock_stable() sched/clock, x86: Use a static_key for sched_clock_stable sched/clock: Remove local_irq_disable() from the clocks sched/clock, x86: Rewrite cyc2ns() to avoid the need to disable IRQs ...
