I understand the problem such that the scheduler cannot determine whether
a certain process should be allowed to schedule or not.
It strikes me that the intuitive solution is to group all un-trusted
processes/threads/tasks that need to be shut off even if they are
scheduling into a control group and let the idle code ignore the
processes in this group.
Or is there something too naïve about this?
Android is already using control groups to give some processes an
extra share of CPU and some less IIRC.
Yours,
