[GIT pull] scheduler fixes for 4.15

[GIT pull] scheduler fixes for 4.15

[Thomas Gleixner]

Linus,

please pull the latest sched-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git sched-urgent-for-linus

Three patches addressing the fallout of the CPU_ISOLATION changes
especially with NO_HZ_FULL plus documentation of boot parameter dependency.

Thanks,

	tglx

------------------>
Frederic Weisbecker (2):
      sched/isolation: Enable CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y by default
      sched/isolation: Document boot parameters dependency on CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION=y

Paul E. McKenney (1):
      sched/isolation: Make CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL select CONFIG_CPU_ISOLATION
