But for me the question here is if 'r' for util has to be changed from long to s64 as well. IMHO, on 32bit machine we can deal with (2147483648/47742/1024 = 43.9) 43 tasks before overflowing. Can we have a scenario where >43 tasks with se->avg.util_avg=1024 value get migrated (migrate_task_rq_fair()) or die (task_dead_fair()) or a task group dies (free_fair_sched_group()) which has a se->avg.util_avg > 44981 for a specific cpu before the atomic_long_xchg() happens in update_cfs_rq_load_avg()?
