Without exporting the grub variables, they are only available in the
main grub menu[0]. When descending in a submenu (like in default Debian for
example), tuned_* variable are expanded to the empty string and, so,
tuned kernel cmdline tuning is effectively disabled.
With the export, variables are available in submenus and tuned tuning is
applied as expected.

Previously, the parser state would be shared, creating races
when two threads would attempt to expand functions in strings
at the same time (e.g., when a device was hotplugged during
TuneD initialization).
The change requires minor refactoring: the function `Repository`
class is now the one providing the expansion API to the `Variables`
class instead of the original `Functions` class (now renamed to
`Parser` and newly created for each expansion).
Resolves: RHEL-75773
The `PluginLoader` class is used as an interace implemented by
all kinds of repositories: of profile plugins, functions, monitors.
While these are all technically "plug-in", the naming is confusing.
The commit also updates the `load_all_plugins` method of the class
(now `load_all_classes`) to use the class loader parameters
(prefix, namespace) instead of hardcoded ones.
Parsing ethtool output has been broken for several years, since `ethtool -c`
started producing a line resembling `CQE mode RX: n/a TX: n/a`.
This prevents setting any [net] coalesce= options, which log
`tuned.plugins.plugin_net: unknown coalesce parameter(s): {'CQE mode RX'}`.
Substituting `cqe-mode-rx:` for `CQE mode RX:` resolves the issue,
although there is a conflict with the `adaptive-tx` workaround
which prevents us from supporting `cqe-mode-tx` directly.
Do not attempt to address that issue as part of this change.
Fixes#726.

First, always prefer schedutil for balanced/powersave. On platforms
where this governor is available, this enables Energy-Aware-Scheduling
which offers the best power efficiency and performance combination.
There is absolutely no reason to use another governor by default in the
"balanced" profile on these systems, in particular.
Second, swap around "conservative" and "ondemand". "conservative" is
supposed to be lower power and higher latency. The commit that made this
change [1] tested on a single server platform (10 years ago), but came
to the wrong conclusion. Dividing the throughput by power numbers of
that commit, "conservative" did in fact provide better performance/watt,
which is the intent of lower-power modes. The fact that it also
happened to provide better overall performance than "ondemand" is
probably an artifact of suboptimal power-management behavior or a
flawed test.

Not all platforms can offline CPUs. On those that can't, there is no
"online" attribute. Default to online in that case.

This will not completely resolve RHEL-60906, because there will be
always race condition if the rename event happens before the instance
is fully initialized, but it should significantly improve the situation.
Drawback is that it can report in the logs device names that shouldn't
be matched by the plugin_net instance, i.e. it matches devices according
to their original names but accesses them with their new names. This
can be confusing. Also in the runtime API (e.g. for removal of the
device from the instance), the original device names have to be used.
For insertion of the device to the instance, new names have to be used.
This can be even more confusing.
Unfortunately, there probably isn't better alternative now, because
for correct operation we would have to handle rename by removal and
addition events. This would require rollback and retune steps which would
lead to very negative performance consequences. Also we would have to
cope with partially tuned devices if the rename event happens during
profile application. It's doable, but it would require big
architectural changes.
The PR also extends internal API, now the plugin instances receive
'instance' as a method parameter.
Also fixed some existing CodeQL warnings.

It may happen that a process gets moved into a blacklisted cgroup
when TuneD is already applying a profile. Postpone the filtering of
processes according to the blacklist to the last possible moment to
minimize the race window.
When setting process affinity fails, re-check whether the process
belongs to a blacklisted cgroup once again and do not report an
error if that's the case.

Add a check which raises an error if the caller of ReleaseProfile
is not identical to the caller of HoldProfile.
Do not number cookies from 0, use pseudo-random integers.
Do not allow null cookies, which may cause issues in clients.
E.g., in gnome-settings-daemon, a null cookie means that it
currently has no active hold.
Rename HoldProfile/ReleaseProfile polkit actions to
hold-profile/release-profile.
Add the switch-profile action and check against it when
switching the profile using the ActiveProfile DBus property.
The changes require some refactoring of the DBusExporter class,
mainly because we need to be able to supply a custom polkit action
name instead of deriving it from the DBus method name.
The signal is received even when the profile change originates within
tuned-ppd. We cannot reliably detect that is the case, so do not
clear profile holds if the signalled profile corresponds to the
currently active one.
If there are multiple profile switches coming closely after
each other, all signals excepts the last one (with the current
TuneD profile) are not relevant anymore and should be ignored.
Set an Obsoletes: tag to remove power-profiles-daemon package.

These parameters interact with each other; it is therefore
not sufficient to configure them via the sysctl plugin.

Since version 0.20, power-profiles-daemon exposes
its DBus interface under "org.freedesktop.UPower.PowerProfiles"
alongside the previous name. To be compatible with PPD, this commit
implements the same change into tuned-ppd.
