Linus,

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

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

   HEAD: 8323f26ce3425460769605a6aece7a174edaa7d1 sched: Fix race in task_group()

The biggest change is a performance improvement on SMP systems:

| 4 socket 40 core + SMT Westmere box, single 30 sec tbench 
| runs, higher is better:
|
| clients     1       2       4        8       16       32       64      128
|..........................................................................
| pre        30      41     118      645     3769     6214    12233    14312
| post      299     603    1211     2418     4697     6847    11606    14557
|
| A nice increase in performance.

which speedup is particularly noticeable on heavily interacting 
few-tasks workloads, so the changes should help desktop-style 
Xorg workloads and interactivity as well, on multi-core CPUs.

There are also cpuset suspend behavior fixes/restructuring and 
various smaller tweaks.

( I had to rebase the pending scheduler tree recently, as the 
  work in progress NUMA scheduling changes from Peter Zijlstra 
  were still too raw for v3.6. This was hopefully a rare, 
  one-off event. )

 Thanks,

	Ingo

      sched: Improve scalability via 'CPU buddies', which withstand random perturbations

Peter Zijlstra (2):
      sched/x86: Remove broken power estimation

Prashanth Nageshappa (2):
      sched: Reorder 'struct lb_env' members to reduce its size
      sched: Reset loop counters if all tasks are pinned and we need to redo load balance

Srivatsa S. Bhat (4):
      CPU hotplug, cpusets, suspend: Don't modify cpusets during suspend/resume
      cpusets, hotplug: Implement cpuset tree traversal in a helper function
      cpusets, hotplug: Restructure functions that are invoked during hotplug
      cpusets: Remove/update outdated comments

Srivatsa Vaddagiri (1):
      sched: Improve balance_cpu() to consider other cpus in its group as target of (pinned) task
