The '-t/-T' parameters seem to have been swapped: -t/--trace[=file]: save the stopped trace to [file|timerlat_trace.txt] -T/--thread us: stop trace if the thread latency is higher than the argument in us Swap them back.

rtla/Makefile: Properly handle dependencies

2022-05-26T19:17:48+00:00

Linus had a problem compiling RTLA, saying: "[...] I wish the tracing tools would do a bit more package checking and helpful error messages too, rather than just fail with: fatal error: tracefs.h: No such file or directory" Which is indeed not a helpful message. Update the Makefile, adding proper checks for the dependencies, with useful information about how to resolve possible problems. For example, the previous error is now reported as: $ make ******************************************** ** NOTICE: libtracefs version 1.3 or higher not found ** ** Consider installing the latest libtracefs from your ** distribution, e.g., 'dnf install libtracefs' on Fedora, ** or from source: ** ** https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/ ** ******************************************** These messages are inspired by the ones used on trace-cmd, as suggested by Stevel Rostedt. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=whxmA86E=csNv76DuxX_wYsg8mW15oUs3XTabu2Yc80yw@mail.gmail.com/ Changes from V1: - Moved the rst2man check to the install phase (when it is used). - Removed the procps-ng lib check [1] as it is being removed.

rtla/timerlat: Add --dma-latency option

2022-03-15T18:36:50+00:00

Add the --dma-latency to set /dev/cpu_dma_latency to the specified value, this aims to avoid having exit from idle states latencies that could be influencing the analysis.

rtla/trace: Save event histogram output to a file

2022-03-15T18:36:50+00:00

The hist: trigger generates a histogram in the file sys/event/hist. If the hist: trigger is used, automatically save the histogram output of the event sys:event in the sys_event_hist.txt file.

rtla: Add --filter support

2022-03-15T18:36:50+00:00

Add --filter option. This option enables a trace event filtering of the previous -e sys:event argument. This option is available for all current tools.
