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.

Description of problem:

The 'tuned' package has added a 'tuned-profiles-realtime' sub-package which is used to do cpu-isolation and irq tuning. When the profile is activated it reads a variable section, which specifies the cpus to be isolated and moves all threads that may be moved off those cpu cores.

We need to add a section to the Realtime Tuning Guide which explains what the profile does and the parameters that are available for user modification.

Created attachment 1076257 [details]
FIrst draft of text for Tuning Guide tuned-profiles-realtime section

This is the first cut at a section describing how to partition a system using the facilities provided by the tuned-profiles-realtime package

Note, that the draft text is also available in an EtherPad:

Hi Clark, I'm going to work on this BZ but I don't have access to that etherpad. Please give me access.

Hi Maxim,
Please use the attached file 
	FIrst draft of text for Tuning Guide tuned-profiles-realtime section 

We did not want to loose the text, so we attached the contents of the etherpad to this bugzilla. Makes it easier for everyone. Please let us know if you have any questions.
