Wouldn't this be a candidate for inlining?


That would make it unsuitable for exporting via sched.h.

If above_background_load() were implemented inside sched.c instead of in sched.h there would be no need to export weighted_cpuload() would there? This would allow weighted_cpuload() to be inline and the efficiency would be better as above_background_load() doesn't gain a lot by being inline as having weighted_cpulpad() non inline means that it's doing a function call several times in a loop i.e. it may save one function call by being inline but requires (up to) one function call for every CPU.

The other way around the cost would be just one function call.
