Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer: instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler internal data structures and providing the scheduler domains in colorfully inconsistent ways, we now have generic scheduler code in kernel/sched/core.c:sched_init_numa() that looks at the architecture's node_distance() parameters and (while not fully trusting it) deducts a NUMA topology from it. This inevitably changes balancing behavior - hopefully for the better. There are various smaller optimizations, cleanups and fixlets as well" * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: sched: Taint kernel with TAINT_WARN after sleep-in-atomic bug sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs sched/debug: Fix printing large integers on 32-bit platforms sched/fair: Improve the ->group_imb logic sched/nohz: Fix rq->cpu_load[] calculations sched/numa: Don't scale the imbalance sched/fair: Revert sched-domain iteration breakage sched/x86: Rewrite set_cpu_sibling_map() sched/numa: Fix the new NUMA topology bits sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched domain support sched/fair: Propagate 'struct lb_env' usage into find_busiest_group sched/fair: Add some serialization to the sched_domain load-balance walk sched/fair: Let minimally loaded cpu balance the group sched: Change rq->nr_running to unsigned int x86/numa: Check for nonsensical topologies on real hw as well x86/numa: Hard partition cpu topology masks on node boundaries x86/numa: Allow specifying node_distance() for numa=fake x86/sched: Make mwait_usable() heed to "idle=" kernel parameters properly sched: Update documentation and comments sched_rt: Avoid unnecessary dequeue and enqueue of pushable tasks in set_cpus_allowed_rt()

-For SMT, the architecture must define CONFIG_SCHED_SMT and provide a

Architectures may retain the regular override the default SD_*_INIT flags
while using the generic domain builder in kernel/sched.c if they wish to
retain the traditional SMT->SMP->NUMA topology (or some subset of that). This
