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.

Doc Text:
Cyclitest "--smi" option available for non-root users With this update, it is possible to use the cyclictest program with the "--smi" option as a non-root user, provided that the user also belongs to the "realtime" group. On processors that support system management interrupts (SMIs), "--smi" displays a report on the system's SMIs, which was previously only available for root users.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:2391 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE rt-tests bug fix update 2016-11-03 13:54:15 UTC

Description John Kacur 2016-06-15 10:26:31 UTC 
There is a new option to cyclictest to detect smis, that needs to read the msr and cpuid registers. Bugzilla 1341783 creates a udev rule to give the group "realtime" access to these registers, but this isn't sufficient. Programs that require the access need the cap_sys_rawio capability
