Subject[RFC v4 1/8] sched/core: Add manual jitter classification using sched_setattr syscall
Date
Jitter tasks are short/bursty tasks, typically performing some housekeeping
work and are less important in the overall scheme of things.

So provide a way to mark the task as jitter with the use of additional flag
to the existing task attribute. Also provide an interface from the
userspace which uses sched_setattr syscall to mark tasks as jitter.
