GNOME Shell doesn't seem to run applications through the shell or with some
persistent parent, thus pkexec cannot be execed over the original tuned-gui
process, because it wouldn't pass the pkexec getppid check. The check is
there to ensure that the pkexec will not be owned by the init process.
This fix runs the pkexec as a child process. The minor drawback is that
there will be two tuned-gui processes - the original process running under
the user and the pkexeced process running under the root. The original
process will effectively do nothing, it will just wait for the pkexeced
process to exit.

If profile was quickly changed, e.g. profile loading failed and
previous profile was reloaded, multiple profile_changed DBus signals
could be received. If the signal is received before it is processed
deadlock may occure (i.e. 10 minut timeout).

Kernel uses 'transparent_hugepage', but Tuned has been so far using
'transparent_hugepages', which was confusing. The new Tuned alias is
meant to improve the situation, so Tuned users can now use both variants.
It's possible that Tuned will drop 'transparent_hugepages' sometimes
in the future.

This can be globally controlled by the 'reapply_sysctl' setting in
tuned-main.conf. If enabled, system systcls (/etc/sysctl.conf,
/etc/sysctl.d, ...) are reapplied after Tuned sysctls are applied,
i.e. Tuned sysctls don't override system sysctls. It's load
system sysctl by executing 'sysctl --system'. It's now by default
enabled.

In no_daemon mode it doesn't try to query DBus, so it doesn't
output DBus error.

It seems that some drivers return udev names with embedded slashes '/', e.g.:
sfdsk/gdssys34
When kernel creates sysfs nodes for them it replaces '/' by '!' not to cause
ambiguity in path, i.e. the device from previous example will become:
sfdsk!gdssys34
This commit add support for such cases. It checks whether there is embedded
'/' in the device name, if yes, it tries to construct sysfs path with '!'.
It checks whether the resulting sysfs path exists, if not, it tries the
version with embedded '/'. This is safety fallback not to cause regression
in some weird cases and it may be dropped in the future.

This plugin can set parameters to kernel modules. It generates
/etc/modprobe.d/tuned.conf file.
Usage:
[modules]
MODULE=OPTION1=VALUE1 OPTION2=VALUE2...
E.g:
[modules]
netrom=nr_ndevs=2
This sets module 'netrom' to have 'nr_ndevs' option set to '2'. The module
can be also forced to load/reload by using special '+r' prefix, e.g.:
[modules]
netrom=+r nr_ndevs=2
Will also cause Tuned to try to remove 'netrom' module (if loaded) and
try to (re)insert it with the specified parameters. The '+r' can be followed
by an optional comma (','), i.e.:
'+r,' for better readability.
By using '+r' the module will be loaded even if not needed.

The sampling rate determines how frequently the governor checks to tune the
CPU. The sampling_down_factor is a tunable that multiplies the sampling rate
when the CPU is at its highest clock frequency thereby delaying load
evaluation and improving performance. Allowed values for
sampling_down_factor are 1 to 100000.
Usage:
[cpu]
sampling_down_factor = 1
Recommended setting for jitter reduction:
sampling_down_factor = 100
Original idea of adding support for this knob to Tuned came from
Akshay Adiga <akshay.adiga@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch also removes cpupower support from Tuned. It seems
that cpupower tool changes it's output format time to time, and parsing
it in Tuned becomes harder and harder. Morever the current parser in Tuned
didn't handle the recent cpupower correctly. It's much easier to just query
sysfs than supporting multiple versions of cpupower.

This function takes three arguments:
etxt - the text to be logged if the assertion fails
var1 - first variable to compare
var2 - seconf variable to compare
The function compares 'var1' and' var2', if they don't match
it logs 'etxt' and raises exception which will abort profile
loading.

This function filters the input cpulist against CPUs present on the

Packs CPU list, i.e. 1, 2, 3 will be converted to 1-3. The cpulist_unpack is
used as a preprocessor, so it always returns optimal results. For details
about input syntax see cpulist_unpack.

Dropped dbus at_console policy and implemented polkit authorization.
By the default policy the query actions are allowed for all users, actions
which do modification to the system settings or Tuned state are by default
allowed only for active users that have console, others need admin
