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 enable the trace of the most relevant information via
|
|
**osnoise:** tracepoints.
