2023-02-02rtla/timerlat: Add auto-analysis coreDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Currently, timerlat displays a summary of the timerlat tracer results saving the trace if the system hits a stop condition. While this represented a huge step forward, the root cause was not that is accessible to non-expert users. The auto-analysis fulfill this gap by parsing the trace timerlat runs, printing an intuitive auto-analysis.

2022-05-26rtla: Remove procps-ng dependencyDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Daniel Wagner reported to me that readproc.h got deprecated. Also, while the procps-ng library was available on Fedora, it was not available on RHEL, which is a piece of evidence that it was not that used. rtla uses procps-ng only to find the PID of the tracers' workload. I used the procps-ng library to avoid reinventing the wheel. But in this case, reinventing the wheel took me less time than the time we already took trying to work around problems. Implement a function that reads /proc/ entries, checking if: - the entry is a directory - the directory name is composed only of digits (PID) - the directory contains the comm file - the comm file contains a comm that matches the tracers' workload prefix. - then return true; otherwise, return false. And use it instead of procps-ng.

2022-03-15rtla/timerlat: Add --dma-latency optionDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Add the --dma-latency to set /dev/cpu_dma_latency to the specified value, this aims to avoid having exit from idle states latencies that could be influencing the analysis.

2022-01-13rtla: Helper functions for rtlaDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
This is a set of utils and tracer helper functions. They are used by rtla mostly to parse config, display data and some trace operations that are not part of libtracefs (because they are only useful it for this case).
