Indeed, it was not clear that it was a formula. Talking about formulas, I remember laying down
the relations between the various flavors of util signals in the v2 thread. This could be
turned rather easily into a doc page for PELT, along with a signal-processing-friendly
accurate description of how the PELT signals are built. Would such a patch be of any
interest the kernel tree ?
