Release justification: high-priority need for functionality in production deployments

aadityasondhi and others added 2 commits April 29, 2024 15:27
This patch enables the CPU profile with a threshold of 75% and a max
frequency of 20min.

The motivation for this change is that recently, I have noticed a few
cases during investigations where CPU utilization spikes but we lack
profiles after the fact. This hinders our ability to dig deeper into the
source of high CPU usage. Having profiles can help inform us of future
AC integrations that we may need, or other performance improvements we
can do elsewhere.

Informs cockroachdb#97699.

Release note (ops change): CRDB will now automatically generate CPU
profiles if there is an increase in CPU utilization. This can help
investigate possible issues after the fact.
In 9036430 we added positive int
validation for `server.cpu_profile.cpu_usage_combined_threshold`, but
a value of zero also seems reasonable in some cases (the comment on the
setting also mentions it), so this commit switches to non-negative int
validation instead.

Epic: None

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL and one additional
    TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.

It looks like your PR touches production code but doesn't add or edit any test code. Did you consider adding tests to your PR?

I'm going to run some experiments with tpcc overload and see if I can evaluate the impact here.
