ANDROID: Allow CAP_SYS_NICE tasks to migrate processes between cgroups
This hack allows CAP_SYS_NICE tasks to have privledge to migrate other tasks between cgroups. This is used by the system_service to migrate processes between top-app, foreground, background cgroups for cputime and schedtune groups. Fixes following libprocessgroup error loop in logcat: ----------- E libprocessgroup: AddTidToCgroup failed to write '$ABCD'; fd=$XYZ: Permission denied E libprocessgroup: Failed to add task into cgroup ----------- Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Amit Pundir <amit.pundir@linaro.org>
