Implement scheduling manager for smooth animations

Andrei-Costin Zisu requested to merge azisu/mobile-shell:implement-scheduling-manager into mobile-shell

Utilization clamping hints the Linux scheduler about the workload of a given process. Some ARM CPUs have a big.LITTLE architecture to balance between CPU performance and power efficiency.

The scheduling manager uses minimal utilization clamping to hint the scheduler that a given process should be scheduled on the performant cores instead of the efficient ones. This improves UI smoothness.

The hinting is only active for the focused application and for the shell process when the user is not idle.

  • Test the new exception handling if it works
  • Increase the idle timeout
