The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.

A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.

In sched_rt_avg_update, we scale the RT execution time like below:
rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE -
		((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / period)

We can optimize by removing right and left shift in the computation of rq->rt_avg
and scale_rt_capacity

The call to arch_scale_frequency_capacity in the rt scheduling path might be
a concern for RT folks because I'm not sure whether we can rely on
arch_scale_freq_capacity to be short and efficient ?

The default value of sched_avg_period is 1sec which is "long" so we
take into account the time consumed by RT tasks in the ongoing period
.

No, Both are useful. sched_avg_period is useful to keep the value more
stable across the time. Without sched_avg_period,  it will be too much
reactive  ( especially at the beg of a period ).
