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 scheduler changes in this cycle were:

   - support Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (TBM3) by introducig a
     notion of 'better cores', which the scheduler will prefer to
     schedule single threaded workloads on. (Tim Chen, Srinivas
     Pandruvada)

   - enhance the handling of asymmetric capacity CPUs further (Morten
     Rasmussen)

   - improve/fix load handling when moving tasks between task groups
     (Vincent Guittot)

   - simplify and clean up the cputime code (Stanislaw Gruszka)

   - improve mass fork()ed task spread a.k.a. hackbench speedup (Vincent
     Guittot)

   - make struct kthread kmalloc()ed and related fixes (Oleg Nesterov)

   - add uaccess atomicity debugging (when using access_ok() in the
     wrong context), under CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y (Peter Zijlstra)

   - implement various fixes, cleanups and other enhancements (Daniel
     Bristot de Oliveira, Martin Schwidefsky, Rafael J. Wysocki)"
