     * The following two methods define (respectively):
     *
     * - The phase offset between hardware vsync and when apps are woken up by the
     *   Choreographer callback
     * - The phase offset between hardware vsync and when SurfaceFlinger wakes up
     *   to consume input
     *
     * Their values may be tuned to trade off between display pipeline latency (both
     * overall latency and the lengths of the app --> SF and SF --> display phases)
     * and frame delivery jitter (which typically manifests as "jank" or "jerkiness"
     * while interacting with the device). The default values must produce a
     * relatively low amount of jitter at the expense of roughly two frames of
     * app --> display latency, and unless significant testing is performed to avoid
     * increased display jitter (both manual investigation using systrace [1] and
     * automated testing using dumpsys gfxinfo [2] are recommended), they should not
     * be modified.
