Add --trigger option. This option enables a trace event trigger to the
previous -e sys:event argument, allowing some advanced tracing options.
For instance, in a system with CPUs 2:23 isolated, it is possible to get
a stack trace of thread wakeup targeting those CPUs while running
osnoise with the following command line:
# osnoise top -c 2-23 -a 50 -e sched:sched_wakeup --trigger="stacktrace if target_cpu >= 2"
This option is available for all current tools.

rtla osnoise and timerlat are causing a segmentation fault when running
with the --trace option on a kernel that does not support multiple
instances. For example:
[root@f34 rtla]# rtla osnoise top -t
failed to enable the tracer osnoise
Could not enable osnoiser tracer for tracing
Failed to enable the trace instance
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This error happens because the exit code of the tools is trying
to destroy the trace instance that failed to be created.
Make osnoise_destroy_tool() aware of possible NULL osnoise_tool *,
and do not attempt to destroy it. This also simplifies the exit code.

The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer.
The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a
periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the
wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of
operating system timer latency.
The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically
prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler.
It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints.
The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from
the timerlat tracer.
Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output:
---------- %< ----------
[root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m
Timer Latency
0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max
0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6
1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5
2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7
3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11
---------- >% ----------
Running:
# rtla timerlat --help
# rtla timerlat top --help
provides information about the available options.
