This is inspiring. Regarding the clock source in load avg tracking,
should we simply use rq_clock_task instead of cfs_rq_clock_task.

For the bandwidth control case, just update/increase the last_update_time when
unthrottled by this throttled time, so the time would look like freezed. Am I
understanding right?

Not sure how much bandwidth control is used, but even not used, every time
we read cfs_rq_clock_task, will burn useless cycles here.

Thanks,
Yuyang
