rtla: Add hwnoise tool

2023-02-14T04:56:46+00:00

The hwnoise tool is a special mode for the osnoise top tool. hwnoise dispatches the osnoise tracer and displays a summary of the noise. The difference is that it runs the tracer with the OSNOISE_IRQ_DISABLE option set, thus only allowing only hardware-related noise, resulting in a simplified output. hwnoise has the same features of osnoise. An example of the tool's output: # rtla hwnoise -c 1-11 -T 1 -d 10m -q Hardware-related Noise duration: 0 00:10:00 | time is in us CPU Period Runtime Noise % CPU Aval Max Noise Max Single HW NMI 1 #599 599000000 138 99.99997 3 3 4 74 2 #599 599000000 85 99.99998 3 3 4 75 3 #599 599000000 86 99.99998 4 3 6 75 4 #599 599000000 81 99.99998 4 4 2 75 5 #599 599000000 85 99.99998 2 2 2 75 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/2d6f49a6f3a4f8b51b2c806458b1cff71ad4d014.1675805361.git.bristot@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira Cc: Juri Lelli Cc: Clark Williams Cc: Bagas Sanjaya Cc: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

rtla: Fix exit status when returning from calls to usage()

2022-12-09T23:06:24+00:00

rtla_usage(), osnoise_usage() and timerlat_usage() all exit with an error status. However when these are called from help, they should exit with a non-error status. Fix this by passing the exit status to the functions. Note, although we remove the subsequent call to exit after calling usage, we leave it in at the end of a function to suppress the compiler warning "control reaches end of a non-void function".

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode

2022-01-13T22:02:43+00:00

The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating system timer latency. The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler. It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from the timerlat tracer. Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output: ---------- %< ---------- [root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m Timer Latency 0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us) CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max 0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6 1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5 2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7 3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11 ---------- >% ---------- Running: # rtla timerlat --help # rtla timerlat top --help provides information about the available options.

rtla: Add osnoise tool

2022-01-13T22:02:42+00:00

The osnoise tool is the interface for the osnoise tracer. The osnoise tool will have multiple "modes" with different outputs. At this point, no mode is included. The osnoise.c includes the osnoise_context abstraction. It serves to read-save-change-restore the default values from tracing/osnoise/ directory. When the context is deleted, the default values are restored. It also includes some other helper functions for managing osnoise tracer sessions. With these bits and pieces in place, we can start adding some functionality to rtla.

rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool

2022-01-13T22:02:42+00:00

The rtla 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. rtla --help works and provide information about the available options. This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.
