    Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip · d652e1eb
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
     "Main changes:
    
       - scheduler side full-dynticks (user-space execution is undisturbed
         and receives no timer IRQs) preparation changes that convert the
         cputime accounting code to be full-dynticks ready, from Frederic
         Weisbecker.
    
       - Initial sched.h split-up changes, by Clark Williams
    
       - select_idle_sibling() performance improvement by Mike Galbraith:
    
            " 1 tbench pair (worst case) in a 10 core + SMT package:
    
              pre   15.22 MB/sec 1 procs
              post 252.01 MB/sec 1 procs "
    
      - sched_rr_get_interval() ABI fix/change.  We think this detail is not
        used by apps (so it's not an ABI in practice), but lets keep it
        under observation.
    
      - misc RT scheduling cleanups, optimizations"
