Linus Torvalds 3e2014637c 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 updates in this cycle were:

   - Group balancing enhancements and cleanups (Brendan Jackman)

   - Move CPU isolation related functionality into its separate
     kernel/sched/isolation.c file, with related 'housekeeping_*()'
     namespace and nomenclature et al. (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Improve the interactive/cpu-intense fairness calculation (Josef
     Bacik)

   - Improve the PELT code and related cleanups (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve the logic of pick_next_task_fair() (Uladzislau Rezki)

   - Improve the RT IPI based balancing logic (Steven Rostedt)

   - Various micro-optimizations:

   - better !CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG optimizations (Patrick Bellasi)

   - better idle loop (Cheng Jian)

   - ... plus misc fixes, cleanups and updates"

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
