SubjectRe: [patch v7 05/21] sched: log the cpu utilization at rq

Greetings, Alex.

That cast achieves nothing where it is. If the shift has overflowed,
then you've already lost information; and if it can't overflow, then
it's not needed at all.

It's itsy-bitsy, but note that there exists a div_u64(u64 dividend,
u32 divisor) helper which may be implemented to be superior to just '/'.
(And also note that the assignment to ``period'' is a good candidate for
gcc's ``?:'' operator.)

If you pull the cast inside the brackets, then you may add my
