[ Upstream commit 8fe5c5a937d0f4e84221631833a2718afde52285 ] When a new task wakes-up for the first time, its initial utilization is set to half of the spare capacity of its CPU. The current implementation of post_init_entity_util_avg() uses SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE directly as a capacity reference. As a result, on a big.LITTLE system, a new task waking up on an idle little CPU will be given ~512 of util_avg, even if the CPU's capacity is significantly less than that. Fix this by computing the spare capacity with arch_scale_cpu_capacity().

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.
