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 of problem:When configuring a tuned profile to set cmdline parameters via the bootloader plugin on a uefi install. If for some reason the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file exist, then the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg does not get updated on a profile change, only the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file gets updated. This is due to fact that the _get_grub2_cfg_file function loops through the GRUB2_CFG_FILES array and checks if one of the files exist, if it does it returns and doesn't continue. Since the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file exist it doesn't continue on to check if both exist. It's very easy for someone to not recognize that the server is uefi, and accidentally run a grub2-mkconfig -o on the /etc/grub2.cfg symlink, which would cause this issue to happen.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tuned-2.8.0-5.el7_4.2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a uefi install setup a profile to set a cmdline parameter.
2. Touch /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
3. run # tuned-adm profile test-profile
Actual results:
After running the above, you will see the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg does not get updated. If a grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is ran instead of the touch command above. Then you will see that on applying the profile it will update the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file correctly.
Expected results:
Update only the /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg or update any of the files in the array if they exist just in case.
Additional info:
** I feel that an quick and easy fix would be to reorder the array entries, and place the efi path before the non efi path.
** But I also threw together the below patch that changes the plugin to update all of the files in the GRUB2_CFG_FILES array if they exist.

Maybe we should check timestamps and use the latest one.
