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 are:

   - lockless wakeup support for futexes and IPC message queues
     (Davidlohr Bueso, Peter Zijlstra)

   - Replace spinlocks with atomics in thread_group_cputimer(), to
     improve scalability (Jason Low)

   - NUMA balancing improvements (Rik van Riel)

   - SCHED_DEADLINE improvements (Wanpeng Li)

   - clean up and reorganize preemption helpers (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - decouple page fault disabling machinery from the preemption
     counter, to improve debuggability and robustness (David
     Hildenbrand)

   - SCHED_DEADLINE documentation updates (Luca Abeni)

   - topology CPU masks cleanups (Bartosz Golaszewski)

   - /proc/sched_debug improvements (Srikar Dronamraju)"
