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

Pull scheduler updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Third more careful attempt for this set of fixes:

   - Prevent a 32bit math overflow in the cpufreq code

   - Fix a buffer overflow when scanning the cgroup2 cpu.max property

   - A set of fixes for the NOHZ scheduler logic to prevent waking up
     CPUs even if the capacity of the busy CPUs is sufficient along with
     other tweaks optimizing the behaviour for asymmetric systems
     (big/little)"

* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/fair: Skip LLC NOHZ logic for asymmetric systems
  sched/fair: Tune down misfit NOHZ kicks
  sched/fair: Comment some nohz_balancer_kick() kick conditions
  sched/core: Fix buffer overflow in cgroup2 property cpu.max
  sched/cpufreq: Fix 32-bit math overflow
