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

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Misc fixes all over the place:

   - Fix NUMA over-balancing between lightly loaded nodes. This is
     fallout of the big load-balancer rewrite.

   - Fix the NOHZ remote loadavg update logic, which fixes anomalies
     like reported 150 loadavg on mostly idle CPUs.

   - Fix XFS performance/scalability

   - Fix throttled groups unbound task-execution bug

   - Fix PSI procfs boundary condition

   - Fix the cpu.uclamp.{min,max} cgroup configuration write checks

   - Fix DocBook annotations

   - Fix RCU annotations

   - Fix overly CPU-intensive housekeeper CPU logic loop on large CPU
     counts"

* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/fair: Fix kernel-doc warning in attach_entity_load_avg()
  sched/core: Annotate curr pointer in rq with __rcu
  sched/psi: Fix OOB write when writing 0 bytes to PSI files
  sched/fair: Allow a per-CPU kthread waking a task to stack on the same CPU, to fix XFS performance regression
  sched/fair: Prevent unlimited runtime on throttled group
  sched/nohz: Optimize get_nohz_timer_target()
  sched/uclamp: Reject negative values in cpu_uclamp_write()
  sched/fair: Allow a small load imbalance between low utilisation SD_NUMA domains
  timers/nohz: Update NOHZ load in remote tick
  sched/core: Don't skip remote tick for idle CPUs
