Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:

 - Add the initial implementation of SCHED_DEADLINE support: a real-time
   scheduling policy where tasks that meet their deadlines and
   periodically execute their instances in less than their runtime quota
   see real-time scheduling and won't miss any of their deadlines.
   Tasks that go over their quota get delayed (Available to privileged
   users for now)

 - Clean up and fix preempt_enable_no_resched() abuse all around the
   tree

 - Do sched_clock() performance optimizations on x86 and elsewhere

 - Fix and improve auto-NUMA balancing

 - Fix and clean up the idle loop

 - Apply various cleanups and fixes
