Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 1389358bb0 tracing/timerlat: Move hrtimer_init to timerlat_fd open()
Currently, the timerlat's hrtimer is initialized at the first read of
timerlat_fd, and destroyed at close(). It works, but it causes an error
if the user program open() and close() the file without reading.

Here's an example:

 # echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/options
 # echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

 # cat <<EOF > ./timerlat_load.py
 # !/usr/bin/env python3

 timerlat_fd = open("/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu0/timerlat_fd", 'r')
 timerlat_fd.close();
 EOF

 # ./taskset -c 0 ./timerlat_load.py
<BOOM>

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
