I could but I decided to use use `struct rq *rq` instead.

(A) We already know the rq in the following functions where we call
cpu_util_cfs():

update_sg_lb_stats()
find_busiest_queue()
update_numa_stats()
sugov_get_util() (existing cpu_util_cfs() call *)

(B) For the following three functions we would call cpu_rq() outside
cpu_util_cfs():

cpu_overutilized()
cpu_util_without()
sched_cpu_util() (*)

So for (A) we wouldn't call cpu_rq(cpu) twice, avoiding issues with the
RELOC_HIDE() thing in per_cpu(runqueues, cpu).


And cpu_util_cfs()'s PELT counterparts, cpu_load() and cpu_runnable()
also use rq.

Yes, can do.

Something like this:

/**
* cpu_util_cfs() - Estimates the amount of CPU capacity used by CFS tasks.
* @cpu: the CPU to get the utilization for.
*
* The unit of the return value must be the same as the one of CPU capacity
* so that CPU utilization can be compared with CPU capacity.
*
* CPU utilization is the sum of running time of runnable tasks plus the
* recent utilization of currently non-runnable tasks on that CPU.
* It represents the amount of CPU capacity currently used by CFS tasks in
* the range [0..max CPU capacity] with max CPU capacity being the CPU
* capacity at f_max.
*
* The estimated CPU utilization is defined as the maximum between CPU
* utilization and sum of the estimated utilization of the currently
* runnable tasks on that CPU. It preserves a utilization "snapshot" of
* previously-executed tasks, which helps better deduce how busy a CPU will
* be when a long-sleeping task wake up. Such task's contribution to CPU
* utilization would be decayed significantly at this point of time.
*
* CPU utilization can be higher than the current CPU capacity
* (f_curr/f_max * max CPU capacity) or even the max CPU capacity because
* of rounding errors as well as task migrations or wakeups of new tasks.
* CPU utilization has to be capped to fit into the [0..max CPU capacity]
* range. Otherwise a group of CPUs (CPU0 util = 121% + CPU1 util = 80%)
* could be seen as over-utilized even though CPU1 has 20% of spare CPU
* capacity. CPU utilization is allowed to overshoot current CPU capacity
* though since this is useful for predicting the CPU capacity required
* after task migrations (scheduler-driven DVFS).
*
* Return: (Estimated) utilization for the specified CPU.
