[PATCH 0/8] rtla improvements

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Thu May 11 2023 - 14:05:21 EST


This is a series of improvements for rtla, mainly as a result of our
daily usage of the tool debugging problems at red hat.

The cgroup support and house keeping options are from our usage
of the tool debugging containers.

The auto-analysis overhead reduction is needed when we go to
large boxes - but it is really hand in practice, as it gives an idea
of the problem without having to look at the trace.

Finally, running hwnoise 100 % of CPU time might cause some systems
to slow down too much. Reduce its utilization to 75% by default to
avoid problems for people using it for the first time.

Daniel Bristot de Oliveira (8):
rtla: Add -C cgroup support
rtla: Add --house-keeping option
rtla: Change monitored_cpus from char * to cpu_set_t
rtla: Automatically move rtla to a house-keeping cpu
rtla/timerlat: Give timerlat auto analysis its own instance
rtla/timerlat_hist: Add auto-analysis support
rtla: Start the tracers after creating all instances
rtla/hwnoise: Reduce runtime to 75%
