The rtla(1) is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that
aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of
testing Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing
capabilities to provide precise information about the properties
and root causes of unexpected results.

To start, it presents an interface to the osnoise and timerlat tracers.
In the future, it will also serve as home to the rtsl [1] and other
latency/noise tracers.

The first five patches are a re-send of [2] that enable multiple
instances for osnoise/timerlat tracers. They are required to run the -T
option - to save a trace with osnoise: events for debugging.

The next seven patches are rtla, rtla osnoise, and rtla timerlat.

The following patches are the man pages for the tools.

To compile rtla on fedora you need:
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
  $ cd libtraceevent/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
  $ cd libtracefs/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ sudo dnf install python3-docutils procps-devel
  $ cd $linux/tools/tracing/rtla/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

This tool was be discussed at the RT-MC during LPC2021.

Changes from v5:
  - Fix read() check in save_trace_to_file() (Tao Zhou)
  - Fix goto logic in save_trace_to_file() (Tao Zhou)
  - Removed unused save_trace_pipe_to_file() function
  - Correctly handle an error on osnoise_set_* functions during
    "apply config" for all tools (Tao Zhou)
  - Fix a comment about the format for set priority
Changes from v4:
  - Fix comment on start_per_cpu_kthreads() (Steven)
  - Fix msg log on patch 1
  - Add comments about the barrier need for trace_nmi_enter/exit
  - Fix RCU usage in osnoise_unregister_instance() (Steven/Paul)
  - Add lockdep checks in osnoise_unregister/unregister_instance()
    (Steven/Paul)
  - Improve the explanation about the multi instances support (Steven)
Changes from v3:
  - Add cross-compile support (Ahmed S. Darwish)
  - Move documentation to Documentation/tools/rtla (Jonathan Corbet)
  - Use .rst format for documentation (Jonathan Corbet)
  - Use include option from .rst to group common parts of the documentation
  - Makefile (main and doc) cleanups
Changes from v2:
  - Fix the miss conception of the "size" for kernel histograms (Steven/Tom)
  - Change the --skip-zeros to --with-zeros option as the former is better
    for humans (and the latter for computers to plot charts).
  - A lot of checkpatch fixes for the user-space part.
Changes from v1:
  - Fixes -t options on osnoise tracers (-t means --trace for all tools now)
  - Fixes --bucket-size references (not --bucket_size)
