osnoise runs 100% of time by default. It makes sense because osnoise
is preemptive. hwnoise checks preemption once a second, so it
reduces system progress.
Reduce runtime to 75% to avoid problems by default. I added a Fixes
as it might avoid problems for first time users as it lands on distros.

The tracing instance starts first for the case of hitting a stop

one with most valuable information.

Currently, the auto-analysis is attached to the timerlat top instance.
The idea was to avoid creating another instance just for that, so one
instance could be reused.
The drawback is that, by doing so, the auto-analysis run for the entire
session, consuming CPU time. On my 24 box CPUs for timerlat with a 100
us period consumed 50 % with auto analysis, but only 16 % without.
By creating an instance for auto-analysis, we can keep the processing
stopped until a stop tracing condition is hit. Once it happens,
timerlat auto-analysis can use its own trace instance to parse only
the end of the trace.
By doing so, auto-analysis stop consuming cpu time when it is not
needed.
If the --aa-only is passed, the timerlat top instance is reused for
auto analysis.

When the user sets -c <cpu-list> try to move rtla out of the <cpu-list>,
even without an -H option. This is useful to avoid having rtla
interfering with the workload.
This works by removing <cpu-list> from rtla's current affinity.
If rtla fails to move itself away it is not that of a problem as this
is an automatic measure.

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 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.

Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving
the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze.
This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency
analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than
the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops.
The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea
of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while
keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start
an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one.
The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications
to facilitate the understanding of both audiences.
Here is one example of tool output:

----------------------------------------- >% -----------------------------------------------------
In this case, the major factor was the delay suffered by the IRQ handler
that handles timerlat wakeup: 65.52 %. This can be caused by the
current thread masking interrupts, which can be seen in the blocking
thread stacktrace: the current thread (objtool:49256) disabled interrupts
via raw spin lock operations inside mem cgroup, while doing write
syscall in a btrfs file system.
A simple search for the function name on Google shows that this is
a legit case for disabling the interrupts:
cgroup: Use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()
lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220301122143.1521823-2-bigeasy@linutronix.de/
The output also prints other reasons for the latency root cause, such as:
- an IRQ that happened before the IRQ handler that caused delays
- The interference from NMI, IRQ, Softirq, and Threads

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.

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.

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.

osnoise with the following command line:
# osnoise top -c 2-23 -a 50 -e sched:sched_wakeup --trigger="stacktrace if target_cpu >= 2"
