I was wondering why you have typecasted the cfs.runnable_load_avg to
unsigned long.Have you looked into why it was declared as u64 in the
first place?

rq->cfs.runnable_load_avg is u64 type.you will need to typecast it here
also right? how does this division work? because the return type is
unsigned long.
