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:
- Make schedstats a runtime tunable (disabled by default) and
optimize it via static keys.
As most distributions enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y due to its
instrumentation value, this is a nice performance enhancement.
(Mel Gorman)
- Implement 'simple waitqueues' (swait): these are just pure
waitqueues without any of the more complex features of full-blown
waitqueues (callbacks, wake flags, wake keys, etc.). Simple
waitqueues have less memory overhead and are faster.
Use simple waitqueues in the RCU code (in 4 different places) and
for handling KVM vCPU wakeups.
(Peter Zijlstra, Daniel Wagner, Thomas Gleixner, Paul Gortmaker,
Marcelo Tosatti)
- sched/numa enhancements (Rik van Riel)
- NOHZ performance enhancements (Rik van Riel)
- Various sched/deadline enhancements (Steven Rostedt)
- Various fixes (Peter Zijlstra)
- ... and a number of other fixes, cleanups and smaller enhancements"
