Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - introduce and use task_rcu_dereference()/try_get_task_struct() to fix
   and generalize task_struct handling (Oleg Nesterov)

 - do various per entity load tracking (PELT) fixes and optimizations
   (Peter Zijlstra)

 - cputime virt-steal time accounting enhancements/fixes (Wanpeng Li)

 - introduce consolidated cputime output file cpuacct.usage_all and
   related refactorings (Zhao Lei)

 - ... plus misc fixes and enhancements
