Currently, the post-loaded profile is shown only among regular active
profiles. For example:
Current active profile: balanced post
This is not entirely user-friendly, because the user may not know why
the post-loaded profile is there, given that they did not specify it
in a 'tuned-adm profile' command and given that it's not present in
/etc/tuned/active_profile.
To give the user a hint about this and also to make it easy to see
exactly which profile is post-loaded, we make 'tuned-adm active' show
the following:
Current active profile: balanced post
Current post-loaded profile: post

If Tuned is running without any profile applied (e.g. after running
'tuned-adm off'), then 'tuned-adm profile_info' crashes with the
following error:
2020-06-08 17:24:11,998 ERROR dbus.connection: Unable to set arguments (None,) according to signature 's': <class 'TypeError'>: Expected a string or unicode object
ERROR:dbus.connection:Unable to set arguments (None,) according to signature 's': <class 'TypeError'>: Expected a string or unicode object
dbus[25054]: arguments to dbus_message_get_destination() were incorrect, assertion "message != NULL" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-message.c line 3678.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Aborted (core dumped)
To fix it, detect that no profile is applied and print the same
message as in _action_profile_info in this case.

This commit adds cgroup v1 support to the scheduler plugin. It seems that
cgroup v1 is the default on RHEL-8. Systemd uses it there, so we have to
start with the cgroup v1. On Fedora, systemd has been switched to the
cgroup v2 (tested on f31), but it's still possible to intermix there
with the cgroup v1. We can add cgroup v2 support later (the logic of the
extended syntax will not change).
This commit extends the syntax the following way:
[scheduler]
cgroup_mount_point=/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset
cgroup_mount_point_init=1
cgroup_groups_init=1
cgroup_for_isolated_cores=group
cgroup.group1=2
cgroup.group2=0,2
group.ksoftirqd=0:f:2:cgroup.group1:ksoftirqd.*
ps_blacklist=ksoftirqd.*;rcuc.*;rcub.*;ktimersoftd.*
isolated_cores=1
--
Legend:
'cgroup_mount_point' is where to mount the cgroup FS or where Tuned
expects it to be mounted. If unset '/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset' is expected.
'cgroup_groups_init' if set to '1' (the default) it means that Tuned
will create (and remove) all cgroups defined with the 'cgroup*' options.
If set to '0' (or similar boolean) the cgroups need to be preset by
some different tool or by hand.
'cgroup_mount_point_init' if set to '1' (or similar boolean) it means that
Tuned will create (and remove) the cgroup mountpoint. It implies
'cgroup_groups_init = 1'. If set to '0' (the default) the cgroups
mount point needs to be preset by some different tool or by hand.
'cgroup_for_isolated_cores' is the cgroup name used for the
'isolated_cores' functionality. For example here if the system has 4 CPUs,
'isolated_cores=1' means that all threads (except of the blacklisted ones
by the 'ps_blacklist' regexes) will be moved to the CPU cores 0,2,3. It will
be done the way that cgroup 'group' will be set to use the affinity 0,2-3
by the 'cpuset.cpus' control file) and all matching threads will be moved
to this cgroup. If 'cgroup_for_isolated_cores' is unset, classic cpuset
affinity will be used to achieve the goal.
'cgroup.CGROUP_NAME' defines affinities for arbitrary cgroups.
Even hierarchic cgroups can be used, but the hieararchy needs to be
specified in the correct order. Also Tuned doesn't do any sanity checks
here (except that it forces the cgroup to be under the mountpoint).
In the example it defines 'group1' with the affinity set to the CPU 2
and 'group2' with the affinity set to CPUs 0, 2.
'group.' its syntax has been extended, so it's now possible to use
e.g. 'cgroup.group1' instead of the hex affinity and the matching
processes will be moved to the 'group1'. It's also possible to use
cgroups which hasn't been defined by the 'cgroup.' option described
above (e.g. cgroups not managed by Tuned).
Before the usage all cgroup names are sanitized by simple algorithm:
all dots '.' are replaced by slashes '/'. It's to prevent the plugin
to write outside the mount point.

Use the new irqbalance plugin instead of a script to set up
irqbalance.
I'm placing the 'irqbalance' instance before the 'script' instance so
that it's executed at the same time as the script, however I don't
think the 'irqbalance' instance needs to be ordered in any specific
way and could be placed almost anywhere.

Use the new irqbalance plugin instead of a script to set up
irqbalance.
Note that I'm not setting priority for the 'irqbalance' instance,
whereas the 'script' instance has a priority of 5. However, this was
added just for initrd image generation in commit 843dc8cf5f
and I don't think the irqbalance instance needs to be ordered in any
specific way.

The irqbalance plugin is a replacement for the bash functions
irqbalance_banned_cpus_setup and irqbalance_banned_cpus_clear. It
configures the banned CPUs in /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance. Then it
restarts irqbalance (if and only if it was previously running).
The banned CPUs can be specified as a CPU list. For example:
[irqbalance]
banned_cpus=2,4,9-13

There should be a way for administrators and testers to force loading of
architecture specific tuning. For example, if there is some specific tuning
for some platforms with specific CPUIDs and the vendor will release new
compatible platform with the new CPUID, there needs to be a way for
administrator to use the tuning on the new platform without waiting for the
Tuned profile update or without the need to customize the profile.
This commit adds two main config options:
uname_string
cpuinfo_string
If unset (commented), which is the default, runtime detection will be used,
i.e. 'uname' will be called and '/proc/cpuinfo' will be read. If set,
content of the variables will be used instead of the runtime detection.
For example by setting:
uname_string = aarch64
It's possible to pretend that Tuned is running on the 64-bit ARM.

The 'is' operator is used to determine object identity. What we want
to do here instead is a value comparison, i.e. the "==" operator.
With the 'is' operator, the conditions would likely never evaluate to
true.
This fixes errors such as these (they seem to get produced during byte
compilation; you can trigger them just by running Tuned).
/root/tuned/tuned/plugins/plugin_cpu.py:76: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?

This is a minimal viable implementation of a post-loaded profile
feature. It was implemented to satisfy the needs of the
kernel_settings Ansible role.
https://github.com/linux-system-roles/kernel_settings
This feature allows us to apply a profile in a way that is
somewhat separate from the way profiles from the active_profile file
are applied. Namely, the post-loaded profile is always applied after
all the profiles from the active_profile (or more precisely, the
post-loaded profile is always put to the tail of the profile chain
when merging). Also, the post-loaded profile setting is not affected
by running 'tuned-adm profile <some profile>' - the post-loaded
profile remains applied.
The name of the post-loaded profile is stored in
/etc/tuned/post_loaded_profile.
The lack of support for multiple post-loaded profiles was more or less
an arbitrary decision. There are no problems with it, as far as I can
see. However, there is currently no use case for multiple post-loaded
profiles, so I decided to make things easier for our future selves -
it's one less thing to worry about if we need to make changes to the
profile loading logic. We can add support for multiple post-loaded
profiles anytime.
A number of other design decisions went into the
implementation. They are listed here:

Profile which tunes down I/O activity to the serial console by reducing the
printk value. This should make the serial console more responsive.
This profile is intended to be used as an overlay on other
profiles (e.g. throughput-performance profile), example:
# tuned-adm profile throughput-performance optimize-serial-console
Also minor fixes to the man page quoting.

Currently the 92-tuned.install kernel-install plugin adds the tuned params
to the BLS config files in s390x machines. But the zipl bootloader doesn't
have support for variables, which leads to cmdlines like the following:
root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root crashkernel=auto rd.dasd=0.0.541f rd.dasd=0.0.551f
rd.dasd=0.0.561f rd.dasd=0.0.571f rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap
cio_ignore=all,!condev rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602,layer2=1,portno=0
$tuned_params BOOT_IMAGE=0
Don't modify the BLS snippet since the zipl bootloader doesn't support the
variables and just make the script to exit if the architecture is s390x.
