Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Introduce "Energy Aware Scheduling" - by Quentin Perret.

     This is a coherent topology description of CPUs in cooperation with
     the PM subsystem, with the goal to schedule more energy-efficiently
     on asymetric SMP platform - such as waking up tasks to the more
     energy-efficient CPUs first, as long as the system isn't
     oversubscribed.

     For details of the design, see:

   - Misc cleanups and smaller enhancements"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
