Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar: "Various scheduler fixes all over the place: three SCHED_DL fixes, three sched/numa fixes, two generic race fixes and a comment fix" * 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched/dl: Fix preemption checks sched: Update comments for CLONE_NEWNS sched: stop the unbound recursion in preempt_schedule_context() sched/fair: Fix division by zero sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_size sched/fair: Care divide error in update_task_scan_period() sched/numa: Fix unsafe get_task_struct() in task_numa_assign() sched/deadline: Fix races between rt_mutex_setprio() and dl_task_timer() sched/deadline: Don't replenish from a !SCHED_DEADLINE entity sched: Fix race between task_group and sched_task_group

- * The tracing infrastructure uses preempt_enable_notrace to prevent
- * recursion and tracing preempt enabling caused by the tracing
- * infrastructure itself. But as tracing can happen in areas coming
- * from userspace or just about to enter userspace, a preempt enable
- * can occur before user_exit() is called. This will cause the scheduler
- * to be called when the system is still in usermode.
- *
- * To prevent this, the preempt_enable_notrace will use this function
- * instead of preempt_schedule() to exit user context if needed before
- * calling the scheduler.
