Description of problem:
After installing OpenShift on a new AMD Genoa system and applying a performance profile, the systemd-sysctl service fails. Upon further investigation, the particular sysctl setting that is failing to apply is the rps_default_mask.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 4.14.28
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenShift + CNF policies to an AMD Genoa system (512 cores)
2. Login and check the sysctl service
Actual results:
Logging in to the system after deployment shows: [systemd] Failed Units: 1 systemd-sysctl.service Restarting the service fails: # systemctl restart systemd-sysctl.service Job for systemd-sysctl.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service" and "journalctl -xeu systemd-sysctl.service" for details.
Expected results:
sysctl settings are properly applied to the system

QE Verification steps:
1. Get a machine with 256+ cpus
2. Apply a performance profile
3. Start a guaranteed pod
4. Check /etc/sysconfig/irqbalance and make sure the mask there matches the right cpus (whole machine with the assigned cpus removed)
5. Make sure sysctl net.core.rps_default_mask shows the right mask for reserved cpus
6. If using nohz_full (workload hints realtime=true) make sure the net.core.rps_default_mask and nohz_full mask do not overlap
