BACKPORT: proc: add /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interface
This backports 5de23d435e88996b1efe0e2cebe242074ce67c9e This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

+3.10 /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns - Task timerslack value
+---------------------------------------------------------
+This file provides the value of the task's timerslack value in nanoseconds.
+This value specifies a amount of time that normal timers may be deferred
+in order to coalesce timers and avoid unnecessary wakeups.
+
+This allows a task's interactivity vs power consumption trade off to be
+adjusted.
+
+Writing 0 to the file will set the tasks timerslack to the default value.
+
+Valid values are from 0 - ULLONG_MAX
+
+An application setting the value must have PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS level
+permissions on the task specified to change its timerslack_ns value.
