   # HEAD: 9469eb01db891b55367ee7539f1b9f7f6fd2819d sched/debug: Add debugfs knob for "sched_debug"

Three CPU hotplug related fixes and a debugging improvement.

 Thanks,

	Ingo

------------------>
Peter Zijlstra (4):
      sched/fair: Avoid newidle balance for !active CPUs
      sched/fair: Plug hole between hotplug and active_load_balance()
      sched/core: WARN() when migrating to an offline CPU
      sched/debug: Add debugfs knob for "sched_debug"
