Commit Message

Currently, the user can start only one instance of timerlat/osnoise
tracers and the tracers cannot run in parallel.

As starting point to add more flexibility, let's allow the same tracer to
run on different trace instances. The workload will start when the first
trace_array (instance) is registered and stop when the last instance
is unregistered.

So, while this patch allows the same tracer to run in multiple
instances (e.g., two instances running osnoise), it still does not allow
instances of timerlat and osnoise in parallel (e.g., one timerlat and
osnoise). That is because the osnoise: events have different behavior
depending on which tracer is enabled (osnoise or timerlat). Enabling
the parallel usage of these two tracers is on my TODO list.

Looking at how this is checked before being called, it really should
return -1, as it is an error if this is called with instances active.

Hum.... maybe my explanation is not good enough. It is not a problem if it is
called with active instances. It would be an error if the same instance was
already registered at this point, but that was checked before. Here it is
checking for other instances that should have enabled the workload.

Does updating the comment with the one below helps?

---- %< ----
Instances need to be registered after calling workload
start. Hence, if there is already a registered instance,
this instance is not the first one to enable the workload,
and a previous instance has already started the workload.

Otherwise, this code is on the way to register the
first instance, and the workload needs to start.

No need.

My eyes missed that you removed the osnoise_has_registered_instances() for
the osnoise_instance_registered(tr), and thought you were doing the same
test twice.

My mistake. I need to not review patches at the end of the day when I'm
ready to go to sleep.
