tools/rtla: Replace setting prio with nice for SCHED_OTHER

2024-02-12T09:56:36Z

Since the sched_priority for SCHED_OTHER is always 0, it makes no sence to set it. Setting nice for SCHED_OTHER seems more meaningful.

rtla/timerlat: Do not stop user-space if a cpu is offline

2023-09-22T12:43:46Z

If no CPU list is passed, timerlat in user-space will dispatch one thread per sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). However, not all CPU might be available, for instance, if HT is disabled. Currently, rtla timerlat is stopping the session if an user-space thread cannot set affinity to a CPU, or if a running user-space thread is killed. However, this is too restrictive. So, reduce the error to a debug message, and rtla timerlat run as long as there is at least one user-space thread alive.

rtla/timerlat_aa: Fix previous IRQ delay for IRQs that happens after thread sample

2023-09-12T13:43:17Z

timerlat auto-analysis takes note of all IRQs, before or after the execution of the timerlat thread. Because we cannot go backward in the trace (we will fix it when moving to trace-cmd lib?), timerlat aa take note of the last IRQ execution in the waiting for the IRQ state, and then print it if it is executed after the expected timer IRQ starting time. After the thread sample, the timerlat starts recording the next IRQs as "previous" irq for the next occurrence. However, if an IRQ happens after the thread measurement but before the tracing stops, it is classified as a previous IRQ. That is not wrong, as it can be "previous" for the subsequent activation. What is wrong is considering it as a potential source for the last activation. Ignore the IRQ interference that happens after the IRQ starting time for now. A future improvement for timerlat can be either keeping a list of previous IRQ execution or using the trace-cmd library. Still, it requires further investigation - it is a new feature.

rtla/timerlat_aa: Fix negative IRQ delay

2023-09-12T13:43:17Z

When estimating the IRQ timer delay, we are dealing with two different clock sources: the external clock source that timerlat uses as a reference and the clock used by the tracer. There are also two moments: the time reading the clock and the timer in which the event is placed in the buffer (the trace event timestamp). If the processor is slow or there is some hardware noise, the difference between the timestamp and the external clock, read can be longer than the IRQ handler delay, resulting in a negative time. If so, set IRQ to start delay as 0. In the end, it is less near-zero and relevant then the noise.
