Subject: [PATCH 8/9] rtla/tests: Add runtime test for -k and -u options
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:05:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260423130558.882022-9-tglozar@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260423130558.882022-1-tglozar@redhat.com>

Add runtime test for rtla-timerlat's -k/--kernel-threads and
-u/--user-threads options using get_workload_pids.sh to check whether
the appropriate threads are being created.

The tests are implemented for both top and hist. Additionally, all tests
related to timerlat threads are moved to a separate section in the test
files. The latter is also done for rtla-osnoise tests.
