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 biggest change affects group scheduling: we now track the runnable
average on a per-task entity basis, allowing a smoother, exponential
decay average based load/weight estimation instead of the previous
binary on-the-runqueue/off-the-runqueue load weight method.
This will inevitably disturb workloads that were in some sort of
borderline balancing state or unstable equilibrium, so an eye has to
be kept on regressions.
For that reason the new load average is only limited to group
scheduling (shares distribution) at the moment (which was also hurting
the most from the prior, crude weight calculation and whose scheduling
quality wins most from this change) - but we plan to extend this to
regular SMP balancing as well in the future, which will simplify and
speed up things a bit.
Other changes involve ongoing preparatory work to extend NOHZ to the
scheduler as well, eventually allowing completely irq-free user-space
execution."
