static void update_rq_clock_task(struct rq *rq, s64 delta)
{
s64 irq_delta;
irq_delta = irq_time_read(cpu_of(rq)) - rq->prev_irq_time;
if (irq_delta > delta)
irq_delta = delta;
rq->prev_irq_time += irq_delta;
delta -= irq_delta;
rq->clock_task += delta;
if (irq_delta && sched_feat(NONIRQ_POWER))
sched_rt_avg_update(rq, irq_delta);
}
its done through that sched_rt_avg_update() (should probably rename
that), it computes a floating average of time not spend on fair tasks.
