    Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · dad1c12e
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
    
     - Remove the unused per rq load array and all its infrastructure, by
       Dietmar Eggemann.
    
     - Add utilization clamping support by Patrick Bellasi. This is a
       refinement of the energy aware scheduling framework with support for
       boosting of interactive and capping of background workloads: to make
       sure critical GUI threads get maximum frequency ASAP, and to make
       sure background processing doesn't unnecessarily move to cpufreq
       governor to higher frequencies and less energy efficient CPU modes.
    
     - Add the bare minimum of tracepoints required for LISA EAS regression
       testing, by Qais Yousef - which allows automated testing of various
       power management features, including energy aware scheduling.
    
     - Restructure the former tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() facility that the -rt
       kernel used to modify the scheduler's CPU affinity logic such as
       migrate_disable() - introduce the task->cpus_ptr value instead of
       taking the address of &task->cpus_allowed directly - by Sebastian
       Andrzej Siewior.
    
     - Misc optimizations, fixes, cleanups and small enhancements - see the
       Git log for details.
