Pull scheduler doc clarification from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single update for the documentation of the base_slice_ns tunable to

  because the scheduler tick is not guaranteed to happen within the set
  time slice"

 "server" (i.e., good batching) workloads.  It defaults to a setting suitable
 for desktop workloads.  SCHED_BATCH is handled by the CFS scheduler module too.
 
+In case CONFIG_HZ results in base_slice_ns < TICK_NSEC, the value of

 Due to its design, the CFS scheduler is not prone to any of the "attacks" that
 exist today against the heuristics of the stock scheduler: fiftyp.c, thud.c,
 chew.c, ring-test.c, massive_intr.c all work fine and do not impact
