+/**
+ * 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 wakes up. The contribution to CPU utilization
+ * of such a task would be significantly decayed 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.
