rtla/Makefile: Properly handle dependencies

2022-06-14T16:41:28Z

[ Upstream commit fe4d0d5dde457bb5832b866418b5036f4f0c8d13 ] 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: Don't overwrite existing directory mode

2022-06-09T08:26:15Z

[ Upstream commit 39c3d84cb5b52792a7323a338334d8d65b2dbe3f ] The mode on /usr/bin is often 555 these days, but make install on rtla overwrites this with 755 Fix this by preserving the current directory if it exists.

rtla: Follow kernel version

2022-02-04T17:39:28Z

To avoid having commits with new version, it is just easier to follow kernel version.

rtla: Make doc build optional

2022-01-28T00:15:46Z

rtla build fails due to doc build dependency on rst2man. Make doc build optional so rtla could be built without docs. Leave the install dependency on doc_install alone.

rtla: Add Documentation

2022-01-13T22:02:43Z

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also includes the rtla(1) man page. As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It is not linked to the official documentation, though. The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode

2022-01-13T22:02:43Z

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

2022-01-13T22:02:42Z

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

2022-01-13T22:02:42Z

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.
