Pull tracing tools updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Introduce enum timerlat_tracing_mode
Now that BPF based sampling has been added to timerlat, add an enum
to represent which mode timerlat is running in
- Add action on timelat threshold feature
A new option, --on-threshold, is added, taking an argument that
further specifies the action. Actions added in this patch are:
- trace[,file=<filename>]: Saves tracefs buffer, optionally taking a
filename
- signal,num=<sig>,pid=<pid>: Sends signal to process. "parent" might
be specified instead of number to send signal to parent process
- shell,command=<command>: Execute shell command
- Allow resuming tracing in timerlat bpf
rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a .bss
section to store whether tracing has been stopped. Map it to allow it
to resume tracing after it has been stopped
- Add continue action to timerlat
Introduce option to resume tracing after a latency threshold
overflow. The option is implemented as an action named "continue"
- Add action on end feature to timerlat
Implement actions on end next to actions on threshold. A new option,
--on-end is added, parallel to --on-threshold. Instead of being
executed whenever a latency threshold is reached, it is executed at
the end of the measurement
- Have rtla tests check output with grep
Add argument to the check command in the test suite that takes a
regular expression that the output of rtla command is checked
against. This allows testing for specific information in rtla output
in addition to checking the return value
- Add tests for timerlat actions
- Update the documentation for the new features
