Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler fixes

Linus,

Please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

   HEAD: 29bb9e5a75684106a37593ad75ec75ff8312731b tracing/context-tracking: Add preempt_schedule_context() for tracing

Two smaller fixes - plus a context tracking tracing fix that is a bit 
bigger.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
