Without further ado, the following was found:
Issue: I<init> → B<init>
"When a new thread is created, the two timer slack values are made the same "
"as the \"current\" value of the creating thread. Thereafter, a thread can "
"adjust its \"current\" timer slack value via B<PR_SET_TIMERSLACK>. The "
"\"default\" value can't be changed. The timer slack values of I<init> (PID "
"1), the ancestor of all processes, are 50,000 nanoseconds (50 "
"microseconds). The timer slack value is inherited by a child created via "
"B<fork>(2), and is preserved across B<execve>(2)."

I've documented it as B<init>(1). Thanks!
