From 173a3b014827955cefdf972ae673d94b60e31cf8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 20:01:29 +0100 Subject: rtla/timerlat: Add the automatic trace option Add the -a/--auto option. This option sets some commonly used options while debugging the system. It aims to help users produce reports in the field, reducing the number of arguments passed to the tool in the first approach to a problem. It is equivalent to setting osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us and print_stack with the argument, and saving the trace to timerlat_trace.txt file if the trace is stopped automatically.
