    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
    
     - Improve uclamp performance by using a static key for the fast path
    
     - Add the "sched_util_clamp_min_rt_default" sysctl, to optimize for
       better power efficiency of RT tasks on battery powered devices.
       (The default is to maximize performance & reduce RT latencies.)
    
     - Improve utime and stime tracking accuracy, which had a fixed boundary
       of error, which created larger and larger relative errors as the
       values become larger. This is now replaced with more precise
       arithmetics, using the new mul_u64_u64_div_u64() helper in math64.h.
    
     - Improve the deadline scheduler, such as making it capacity aware
    
     - Improve frequency-invariant scheduling
    
     - Misc cleanups in energy/power aware scheduling
    
     - Add sched_update_nr_running tracepoint to track changes to nr_running
    
     - Documentation additions and updates
    
     - Misc cleanups and smaller fixes
