Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - membarrier updates (Mathieu Desnoyers) - SMP balancing optimizations (Mel Gorman) - stats update optimizations (Peter Zijlstra) - RT scheduler race fixes (Steven Rostedt) - misc fixes and updates * 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/fair: Use a recently used CPU as an idle candidate and the basis for SIS sched/fair: Do not migrate if the prev_cpu is idle sched/fair: Restructure wake_affine*() to return a CPU id sched/fair: Remove unnecessary parameters from wake_affine_idle() sched/rt: Make update_curr_rt() more accurate sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs sched/rt: Use container_of() to get root domain in rto_push_irq_work_func() sched/core: Optimize update_stats_*() sched/core: Optimize ttwu_stat() membarrier/selftest: Test private expedited sync core command membarrier/arm64: Provide core serializing command membarrier/x86: Provide core serializing command membarrier: Provide core serializing command, *_SYNC_CORE lockin/x86: Implement sync_core_before_usermode() locking: Introduce sync_core_before_usermode() membarrier/selftest: Test global expedited command membarrier: Provide GLOBAL_EXPEDITED command membarrier: Document scheduler barrier requirements powerpc, membarrier: Skip memory barrier in switch_mm() membarrier/selftest: Test private expedited command
