Subject: [GIT PULL] scheduler updates

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: 82845079160817cc6ac64e5321bbd935e0a47b3a Merge branch 'linus' into sched/urgent, to resolve conflicts

This tree includes the following changes:

 - membarrier updates (Mathieu Desnoyers)

 - SMP balancing optimizations (Mel Gorman)

 - stats update optimizations (Peter Zijlstra)

 - RT scheduler race fixes (Steven Rostedt)

 - misc fixes and updates

Note: I merged in a (tested) version of your tree to resolve three separate 
conflicts, two trivial, the third one a bit more complex - but feel free to pull 
the original sha1 before the merge as well.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
