Enhanced tuna, rt-setup, rtctl, and python-linux-procfs packages are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 5.
The tuna package provides an interface for changing both scheduler and IRQ
tunables, at whole CPU, per-thread or per-IRQ levels. tuna allows CPUs to
be isolated for use by a specific application and threads and interrupts to
be moved to a CPU simply by dragging and dropping them.
The rt-setup package configures settings required by the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux realtime environment, such as creating the realtime group, adding
realtime user privileges to PAM (Pluggable Authentication Models), enabling
the configuration of kdump in realtime, and disabling irqbalance by default.
The rtctl package comprises a set of scripts which are used to manipulate
the scheduling priorities of groups of system threads.
The python-linux-procfs package enables the extraction of information from
the /proc filesystem.
These updated tuna, rt-setup, rtctl, and python-linux-procfs packages add
the following enhancements:
* the tuna package has been updated to a later version, which adds support
for saving kthread scheduler tunings in the /etc/rtgroups configuration file.
* the rtctl package has been updated to support processor affinity masks.
* Addition of per process flags and SMP affinity masks for use with tuna.
* the rt-setup package's 'rt-setup-kdump' command now properly handles
command line arguments, such as the '--help' option, and stops processing
files when invalid arguments are specified.
Users of the Realtime capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise MRG 5 are advised
to upgrade to these updated tuna, rt-setup, rtctl, and python-linux-procfs
packages, which add these enhancements.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
