The rtla osnoise tool is an interface for the osnoise tracer. The
osnoise tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read
the time in a loop while with preemption, softirqs and IRQs enabled,
thus allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The
osnoise threads take note of the entry and exit point of any source
of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The
osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source
of interference.
The rtla osnoise top mode displays information about the periodic
summary from the osnoise tracer.
One example of rtla osnoise top output is:
[root@alien ~]# rtla osnoise top -c 0-3 -d 1m -q -r 900000 -P F:1

"rtla osnoise top --help" works and provide information about the
available options.

RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But, 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 some libraries and tools. More precisely, it depends on the following libraries: - libtracefs - libtraceevent - procps 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.
