tools/rtla: Use tools/build makefiles to build rtla Use tools/build/ makefiles to build rtla, inheriting the benefits of it. For example, having a proper way to handle dependencies. rtla is built using perf infra-structure when building inside the kernel tree. At this point, rtla diverges from perf in two points: Documentation and tarball generation/build. At the documentation level, rtla is one step ahead, placing the documentation at Documentation/tools/rtla/, using the same build tools as kernel documentation. The idea is to move perf documentation to the same scheme and then share the same makefiles. rtla has a tarball target that the (old) RHEL8 uses. The tarball was kept using a simple standalone makefile for compatibility. The standalone makefile shares most of the code, e.g., flags, with regular buildings. The tarball method was set as deprecated. If necessary, we can make a rtla tarball like perf, which includes the entire tools/build. But this would also require changes in the user side (the directory structure changes, and probably the deps to build the package). Inspired on perf and objtool.

rtla: Add hwnoise tool 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 <bristot@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Clark Williams <williams@redhat.com> Cc: Bagas Sanjaya <bagasdotme@gmail.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

rtla: Remove procps-ng dependency Daniel Wagner reported to me that readproc.h got deprecated. Also, while the procps-ng library was available on Fedora, it was not available on RHEL, which is a piece of evidence that it was not that used. rtla uses procps-ng only to find the PID of the tracers' workload. I used the procps-ng library to avoid reinventing the wheel. But in this case, reinventing the wheel took me less time than the time we already took trying to work around problems. Implement a function that reads /proc/ entries, checking if: - the entry is a directory - the directory name is composed only of digits (PID) - the directory contains the comm file - the comm file contains a comm that matches the tracers' workload prefix. - then return true; otherwise, return false. And use it instead of procps-ng.

rtla/Makefile: Properly handle dependencies 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.

Covert as follows: $(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B) This patch also converts: $(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B) Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B) expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A".

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode 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.

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.
