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:

   - various sched/deadline fixes and enhancements

   - rescheduling latency fixes/cleanups

   - rework the rq->clock code to be more consistent and more robust.

   - minor micro-optimizations

   - ->avg.decay_count fixes

   - add a stack overflow check to might_sleep()

   - idle-poll handler fix, possibly resulting in power savings

   - misc smaller updates and fixes"
