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 changes in this (fairly busy) cycle were:

   - There was a class of scheduler bugs related to forgetting to update
     the rq-clock timestamp which can cause weird and hard to debug
     problems, so there's a new debug facility for this: which uncovered
     a whole lot of bugs which convinced us that we want to keep the
     debug facility.

     (Peter Zijlstra, Matt Fleming)

   - Various cputime related updates: eliminate cputime and use u64
     nanoseconds directly, simplify and improve the arch interfaces,
     implement delayed accounting more widely, etc. - (Frederic
     Weisbecker)

   - Move code around for better structure plus cleanups (Ingo Molnar)

   - Move IO schedule accounting deeper into the scheduler plus related
     changes to improve the situation (Tejun Heo)

   - ... plus a round of sched/rt and sched/deadline fixes, plus other
     fixes, updats and cleanups"
