From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@linux.intel.com>
Per task timer_slack_ns was introduced a while ago to allow tuning
timer rounding behavior such that tasks can be made mode power friendly.
This patch introduces per cgroup timer slack value which will override
the default timer slack value once a task is attached to a cgroup. By
default, the root cgroup timer slack value is set to the same 50us as
in all the tasks.
At runtime, user can choose to change cgroup timer slack value by
echo xxx > cgroup.timer_slack_ns
The usage of such feature can be found in mobile devices where certain
background apps are attached to a cgroup and minimum wakeups are desired.
