    Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · a1d85611
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
     "The biggest change in this cycle is the rewrite of the main SMP load
      balancing metric: the CPU load/utilization.  The main goal was to make
      the metric more precise and more representative - see the changelog of
      this commit for the gory details:
    
        9d89c257 ("sched/fair: Rewrite runnable load and utilization average tracking")
    
      It is done in a way that significantly reduces complexity of the code:
    
        5 files changed, 249 insertions(+), 494 deletions(-)
    
      and the performance testing results are encouraging.  Nevertheless we
      need to keep an eye on potential regressions, since this potentially
      affects every SMP workload in existence.
    
      This work comes from Yuyang Du.

       - SCHED_DL updates.  (Andrea Parri)
    
       - Simplify architecture callbacks by removing finish_arch_switch().
         (Peter Zijlstra et al)
    
       - cputime accounting: guarantee stime + utime == rtime.  (Peter
         Zijlstra)
    
       - optimize idle CPU wakeups some more - inspired by Facebook server
         loads.  (Mike Galbraith)
    
       - stop_machine fixes and updates.  (Oleg Nesterov)
    
       - Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint.  (Peter Zijlstra)
    
       - sched/numa tweaks.  (Srikar Dronamraju)
