RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: tuned-2.3.0-1.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Newer Intel CPUs have MSR tuning knob called MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS which can be used for controlling bias to performance or powersave. Previously, Tuned didn't know how to control the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. Consequence: The MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS wasn't modified in the Tuned profiles, which could lead to negative impacts on performance / powersave. Fix: The code for controlling the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS was added into Tuned. Result: If kernel-tools package is installed, Tuned now modifies the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS according to selected profile.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-10-16 11:47:23 UTC 
Using kernel-tools - we are using existing tools rather then rewriting their functionality.

Using:
'normal' policy for balanced profile
'performance' policy for throughput-performance and throughput-latency profiles
'powersave' policy for powersave profile

'performance' policy for throughput-performance and latency-performance profiles
