Linus Torvalds 86c6a2fddf Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - 'Nested Sleep Debugging', activated when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.

     This instruments might_sleep() checks to catch places that nest
     blocking primitives - such as mutex usage in a wait loop.  Such
     bugs can result in hard to debug races/hangs.

     Another category of invalid nesting that this facility will detect
     is the calling of blocking functions from within schedule() ->
     sched_submit_work() -> blk_schedule_flush_plug().

     There's some potential for false positives (if secondary blocking
     primitives themselves are not ready yet for this facility), but the
     kernel will warn once about such bugs per bootup, so the warning
     isn't much of a nuisance.

     This feature comes with a number of fixes, for problems uncovered
     with it, so no messages are expected normally.

   - Another round of sched/numa optimizations and refinements, for
     CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y.

   - Another round of sched/dl fixes and refinements.

  Plus various smaller fixes and cleanups"
