Then the running number is already scaled by the current P-state compute capacity. But I don't have any better suggestions. > > s/cfs.usage_load_avg/cfs.utilization_load_avg/ I don't like using "load" for unweighted metrics. I associate load with something that may be weighted by priority like load_avg_contrib, and utilization with pure cpu utilization as in how many cycles is spend on a particular task. I called it "usage_util_avg" in my own patches, but "util_avg" might be better if we agree that utilization == usage. > > s/se->avg.usage_avg_contrib/se->avg.utilization_avg_contrib util_avg_contrib maybe to keep it shorter. > > s/__update_task_entity_usage/__update_task_entity_utilization > > s/__update_entity_usage_avg_contrib/__update_entity_utilization_avg_contrib Maybe use "util" here as well?
