Because divide-by-zero error happens in function:
update_group_capacity()
update_cpu_capacity()
scale_rt_capacity()
{
...
total = sched_avg_period() + delta;
used = div_u64(avg, total);
...
}
To fix this issue, check user input value of sysctl_sched_time_avg, keep
it unchanged when hitting invalid input, and set the minimum limit of
sysctl_sched_time_avg to 1 ms.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
