Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Three patches addressing the fallout of the CPU_ISOLATION changes
especially with NO_HZ_FULL plus documentation of boot parameter
dependency"
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/isolation: Document boot parameters dependency on CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y
sched/isolation: Enable CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y by default
sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION
