ffiselect: Set /proc/../oom_score_adj #329

Description

@magik6k

We should be setting /proc/[childpid]/oom_score_adj to a high value like 900 on tasks which aren't PoSt so that:

  • The main process is less likely to be killed
  • Other processes on the machine are less likely to be killed (Lotus, yugabyte)
  • Things don't break horribly when the scheduler misjudges how much memory we have (i.e. something outside of curio uses a bunch of memory in the middle of a memory-heavy task)
