Add the support for running timerlat threads in user-space. In this mode, enabled with -u/--user-threads, timerlat dispatches user-space processes that will loop in the timerlat_fd, measuring the overhead for going to user-space and then returning to the kernel - in addition to the existing measurements. Here is one example of the tool's output with -u enabled: $ sudo timerlat hist -u -c 1-3 -d 600 # RTLA timerlat histogram # Time unit is microseconds (us) # Duration: 0 00:10:01 Index IRQ-001 Thr-001 Usr-001 IRQ-002 Thr-002 Usr-002 IRQ-003 Thr-003 Usr-003 0 477555 0 0 425287 0 0 474357 0 0 1 122385 7998 0 174616 1921 0 125412 3138 0 2 47 587376 492150 89 594717 447830 147 593463 454872 3 11 2549 101930 7 2682 145580 64 2530 138680 4 3 1954 2833 1 463 4917 11 548 4656 5 0 60 1037 0 138 1117 6 179 1130 6 0 26 1837 0 38 277 1 76 339 7 0 15 143 0 28 147 2 37 156 8 0 10 23 0 11 75 0 12 80 9 0 7 17 0 0 26 0 11 42 10 0 2 11 0 0 18 0 2 20 11 0 0 7 0 1 8 0 2 12 12 0 0 6 0 1 4 0 2 8 13 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 15 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 16 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 17 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 19 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 over: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 count: 600001 600001 600001 600000 600000 600000 600000 600000 600000 min: 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 avg: 0 1 2 0 2 2 0 2 2 max: 4 16 19 4 12 14 7 12 15 The tuning setup like -p or -C work for the user-space threads as well.

RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools The rtla meta-tool includes a set of commands that aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. 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. Installing RTLA RTLA depends on the following libraries and tools: - libtracefs - libtraceevent It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages. For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git $ cd libtraceevent/ $ make $ sudo make install $ cd .. $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git $ cd libtracefs/ $ make $ sudo make install $ cd .. $ cd $rtla_src $ make $ sudo make install For further information, please refer to the rtla man page.
