From: Paul Turner <p...@google.com>
__update_entity_runnable_avg forms the core of maintaining an entity's runnable
load average. In this function we charge the accumulated run-time since last
update and handle appropriate decay. In some cases, e.g. a waking task, this
time interval may be much larger than our period unit.
Fortunately we can exploit some properties of our series to perform decay for a
blocked update in constant time and account the contribution for a running
update in essentially-constant* time.
[*]: For any running entity they should be performing updates at the tick which
gives us a soft limit of 1 jiffy between updates, and we can compute up to a
32 jiffy update in a single pass.
