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(1) mode displays a summary of the periodic output +from the timerlat tracer. The rtla-hist-hist(1) mode displays a histogram of +each tracer event occurrence. For further details, please refer to the +respective man page. + +MODES +----- +*top*:: + Prints the summary from timerlat tracer. +*hist*:: + Prints a histogram of timerlat samples. + +If no MODE is given, the top mode is called, passing the arguments. + +OPTIONS +------- +*-h*, *--help*:: + Display the help text. + +For other options, see the man page for the corresponding mode. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +_rtla-timerlat-top(1)_, _rtla-timerlat-hist(1)_ + +Timerlat tracer documentation: + +AUTHOR +------ +Written by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira + +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to + +LICENSE +------- +rtla is Free Software licensed under the GNU GPLv2 + +COPYING +------- +Copyright \(C) 2021 Red Hat, Inc.
