rtla: fix a example in rtla-timerlat-hist.rst

2023-09-22T12:44:04+00:00

The following error message is reported when running the example in document. # timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1ms --no-aa Failed to set timerlat period Could not apply config The unit of the period is microsecond, '1ms' cannot be accepted. usage: [rtla] timerlat hist [-h] [-q] [-d s] [-D] [-n] [-a us] [-p us] [-i us] [-T us] [-s us] ... ... -p/--period us: timerlat period in us ...

rtla/timerlat_hist: Add auto-analysis support

2023-06-13T20:35:46+00:00

Add auto-analysis to timerlat hist, including the --no-aa option to reduce overhead and --dump-task. --aa-only was not added as it is already on timerlat top.

rtla: Add --house-keeping option

2023-06-13T20:26:03+00:00

To avoid having rtla interfering with the measurement threads, add an option for the user to set the CPUs in which rtla should run. For instance: # rtla timerlat top -H 0 -c 1-7 Will place rtla in the CPU 0, while running the measurement threads in the CPU 1-7.

rtla: Add -C cgroup support

2023-06-13T20:25:13+00:00

The -C option sets a cgroup to the tracer's threads. If the -C option is passed without arguments, the tracer's thread will inherit rtla's cgroup. Otherwise, the threads will be placed on the cgroup passed to the option.

rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis only option

2023-04-25T23:26:17+00:00

Parsing and formating timerlat data might consume a reasonable amount of CPU time on very large systems, or when timerlat has a too short period. Add an option to run timerlat with auto-analysis enabled while skipping the statistics parsing. In this mode, rtla timerlat periodically checks if the tracing is on, going to sleep waiting for the stop tracing condition to stop tracing, or for the tracing session to finish. If the stop tracing condition is hit, the tool prints the auto analysis. Otherwise, the tool prints the max observed latency and exit. The max observed latency is captured via tracing_max_latency.
