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).

Description Luiz Capitulino 2015-09-29 14:22:32 UTC
Created attachment 1078384 [details]
lat.out that reproduces the issue

Description of problem:

We've been seeing that in some systems the files lapic_timer_adv_ns and lapic_timer_adv_ns.cpumodel are not being created in /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/.

I've debugged this issue down to find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh (silently) failing when run by tuned.

I'm attaching the lat.out file that reproduces the issue:

[root@virtlab401 realtime-virtual-host]# ./find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh /tmp/tmp.ZjZlVhDqe8/lat.out 
optimal not found
[root@virtlab401 realtime-virtual-host]# 

Btw, in those systems we ended up with 7000 written to /sys/module/kvm/parameters/lapic_timer_advance_ns, just because that's the last value tried by run-tscdeadline-latency.sh.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuned-2.5.1-4.el7.noarch


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a KVM-RT host
2. The following files don't exist:
  * /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/lapic_timer_adv_ns
  * /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/lapic_timer_adv_ns.cpumodel
3. /sys/module/kvm/parameters/lapic_timer_advance_ns is 7000

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-10-02 10:11:47 UTC
Upstream commit:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/tuned.git/commit/?id=874762b4c06e3bc7862e119ee12a23a16352f649

Also I am going to move:
/usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/lapic_timer_adv_ns
/usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/lapic_timer_adv_ns.cpumodel

to /var/lib/tuned/...

This is according to FHS and should also help with SELinux (if enabled).

Comment 10 Tereza Cerna 2016-09-09 09:16:10 UTC
Hi,

I'm confused from this bug and I don't know what is really expected result. What everything should be set and work? What all should I do for testing this bug?

# tuned-adm profile realtime-virtual-host

# ./find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh lat.out 
./find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh: line 10: *100/ 3429: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "*100/ 3429")
optimal value for lapic_timer_advance_ns is: 7000

>> Optimal value seems well - 7000 - like in description.
>> There is syntax error, should I create a bug?

# cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/lapic_timer_advance_ns
1000

>> Why there is 1000 and not 7000?

# ls /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host
find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh  lat.out  run-tscdeadline-latency.sh  script.sh  tuned.conf
# ls /var/lib/tuned
ls: cannot access /var/lib/tuned: No such file or directory

>> Files lapic_timer_adv_ns and lapic_timer_adv_ns.cpumodel are missing in /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host and /var/lib/tuned. Where is it? Are these files necessary?

# rpm -q tuned
tuned-2.7.1-2.el7.noarch

Comment 11 Tereza Cerna 2016-09-09 09:21:16 UTC
There is behavior on old tuned package:

# tuned-adm profile realtime-virtual-host

# ./find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh lat.out 
optimal value for lapic_timer_advance_ns is: 6500

# cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/lapic_timer_advance_ns 
1000

# ls /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host/
find-lapictscdeadline-optimal.sh  lat.out  run-tscdeadline-latency.sh  script.sh  tuned.conf
# ls /var/lib/tuned
ls: cannot access /var/lib/tuned: No such file or directory

# rpm -q tuned
tuned-2.5.1-4.el7_2.3.noarch

Comment 12 Luiz Capitulino 2016-09-09 13:01:22 UTC
Is lat.out the one attached in this BZ? If it is, then I can't explain why it is working for you. But at the same time, this was a minor bug and I don't think it's worth it to spend time trying to figure out how an old version of tuned used to work.

In this case, I'd recommend skipping verification for this one.
