Linus Torvalds b8321ed4a4 Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.18-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add new environment variables, USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS to allow
   additional flags to be passed to user-space programs.

 - Fix missing fflush() bugs in Kconfig and fixdep

 - Fix a minor bug in the comment format of the .config file

 - Make kallsyms ignore llvm's local labels, .L*

 - Fix UAPI compile-test for cross-compiling with Clang

 - Extend the LLVM= syntax to support LLVM=<suffix> form for using a
   particular version of LLVm, and LLVM=<prefix> form for using custom
   LLVM in a particular directory path.

 - Clean up Makefiles

* tag 'kbuild-v5.18-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  kbuild: Make $(LLVM) more flexible
  kbuild: add --target to correctly cross-compile UAPI headers with Clang
  fixdep: use fflush() and ferror() to ensure successful write to files
  arch: syscalls: simplify uapi/kapi directory creation
  usr/include: replace extra-y with always-y
  certs: simplify empty certs creation in certs/Makefile
  certs: include certs/signing_key.x509 unconditionally
  kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'
  kconfig: fix missing '# end of' for empty menu
  kconfig: add fflush() before ferror() check
  kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)
  kbuild: Add environment variables for userprogs flags
  kbuild: unify cmd_copy and cmd_shipped

RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools

The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that
aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But, instead of
testing Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing
capabilities to provide precise information about the properties
and root causes of unexpected results.

Installing RTLA

RTLA depends on some libraries and tools. More precisely, it depends on the
following libraries:

 - libtracefs
 - libtraceevent
 - procps

It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.

For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:

  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
  $ cd libtraceevent/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
  $ cd libtracefs/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ cd $rtla_src
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

For further information, please refer to the rtla man page.
