  sched: Fix the racy usage of thread_group_cputimer() in fastpath_timer_check()
  sched: run_posix_cpu_timers: Don't check ->exit_state, use lock_task_sighand()
  sched: thread_group_cputime: Simplify, document the "alive" check
  sched: Remove the obsolete exit_state/signal hacks
  sched: task_tick_rt: Remove the obsolete ->signal != NULL check
  sched: __sched_setscheduler: Read the RLIMIT_RTPRIO value lockless
  sched: Fix comments to make them DocBook happy
  sched: Fix fix_small_capacity
  powerpc: Exclude arch_sd_sibiling_asym_packing() on UP
  powerpc: Enable asymmetric SMT scheduling on POWER7
  sched: Add asymmetric group packing option for sibling domain

- * Create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other events, including:

+ * There is no strict promise about the base, although it tends to start
+ * at 0 on boot (but people really shouldn't rely on that).
+ *
+ * cpu_clock(i)       -- can be used from any context, including NMI.
+ * sched_clock_cpu(i) -- must be used with local IRQs disabled (implied by NMI)
+ * local_clock()      -- is cpu_clock() on the current cpu.
+ *
+ * How:
+ *
+ * The implementation either uses sched_clock() when
+ * !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, which means in that case the
+ * sched_clock() is assumed to provide these properties (mostly it means
+ * the architecture provides a globally synchronized highres time source).
+ *
+ * Otherwise it tries to create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other
+ * clocks, including:
+ *
+ *  - GTOD (clock monotomic)
  *  - sched_clock()
  *  - explicit idle events
  *
- * We use gtod as base and the unstable clock deltas. The deltas are filtered,
- * making it monotonic and keeping it within an expected window.
+ * We use GTOD as base and use sched_clock() deltas to improve resolution. The
+ * deltas are filtered to provide monotonicity and keeping it within an
+ * expected window.
  *
  * Furthermore, explicit sleep and wakeup hooks allow us to account for time
  * that is otherwise invisible (TSC gets stopped).
  *
- * The clock: sched_clock_cpu() is monotonic per cpu, and should be somewhat
- * consistent between cpus (never more than 2 jiffies difference).
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *
+ * The !IRQ-safetly of sched_clock() and sched_clock_cpu() comes from things
+ * like cpufreq interrupts that can change the base clock (TSC) multiplier
+ * and cause funny jumps in time -- although the filtering provided by
+ * sched_clock_cpu() should mitigate serious artifacts we cannot rely on it
+ * in general since for !CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK we fully rely on
+ * sched_clock().
