Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing tools: RTLA updates for 7.2
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:25:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615162515.625f903d@fedora> (raw)
Linus,
RTLA patches for v7.2
- Fix discrepancy in --dump-tasks option
Due to a mistake, rtla-timerlat-hist used the CLI syntax "--dump-task"
instead of the documented "--dump-tasks". Change the option to match
both documentation and the other timerlat tool, rtla-timerlat-top.
- Extend coverage of runtime tests
Cover both top and hist tools in all applicable test cases, add tests
for a few uncovered options, and extend checks for some existing tests.
- Add unit tests for actions
rtla's actions feature is implemented in its source file and contains
non-trivial parsing logic. Cover it with unit tests.
- Stop record trace on interrupt
Fix a bug where an interval exists after receiving a signal in which
the main instance is stopped but the record instance is not, leading to
discrepancies in reported results and sometimes rtla hanging.
- Restore continue flag in actions_perform()
Fix a bug where rtla always continues tracing after hitting a threshold
even if the continue action was triggered just once, and add tests
verifying that the flag is reset properly.
- Migrate command line interface to libsubcmd
Replace rtla's argument parsing using getopt_long() with libsubcmd, used
by perf and objtool, to reuse existing code and auto-generate better
help messages. Extensive unit tests are included to detect regressions.
- Add -A/--aligned option to timerlat tools
Add an option to align timerlat threads, based on the recently
introduced TIMERLAT_ALIGN option of the timerlat tracer, together with
unit tests and documentation.
- Document tests in README
Document how to run unit and runtime tests in rtla's README.txt,
including the dependencies needed to run them.
