rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis only option

2023-04-25T23:26:17Z

Parsing and formating timerlat data might consume a reasonable amount of CPU time on very large systems, or when timerlat has a too short period. Add an option to run timerlat with auto-analysis enabled while skipping the statistics parsing. In this mode, rtla timerlat periodically checks if the tracing is on, going to sleep waiting for the stop tracing condition to stop tracing, or for the tracing session to finish. If the stop tracing condition is hit, the tool prints the auto analysis. Otherwise, the tool prints the max observed latency and exit. The max observed latency is captured via tracing_max_latency.

The '-t/-T' parameters seem to have been swapped: -t/--trace[=file]: save the stopped trace to [file|timerlat_trace.txt] -T/--thread us: stop trace if the thread latency is higher than the argument in us Swap them back.

rtla/Makefile: Properly handle dependencies

2022-05-26T19:17:48Z

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.
