When a trace instance creation fails, tools are printing:
Could not enable -> osnoiser <- tracer for tracing
Print the actual (and correct) name of the tracer it fails to enable.

Currently, --entries uses -e as the short version in the hist mode of
timerlat and osnoise tools. But as -e is already used to enable events
on trace sessions by other tools, thus let's keep it available for the
same usage for all rtla tools.
Make -E the short version of --entries for hist mode on all tools.
Note: rtla was merged in this merge window, so rtla was not released yet.

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.

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.
As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.
The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

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

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.

The rtla osnoise tool is an interface for the osnoise tracer. The
osnoise tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read
the time in a loop while with preemption, softirqs and IRQs enabled,
thus allowing all the sources of osnoise during its execution. The
osnoise threads take note of the entry and exit point of any source
of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The
osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source
of interference.
The rtla osnoise top mode displays information about the periodic
summary from the osnoise tracer.
One example of rtla osnoise top output is:
[root@alien ~]# rtla osnoise top -c 0-3 -d 1m -q -r 900000 -P F:1

The osnoise tool is the interface for the osnoise tracer. The osnoise
tool will have multiple "modes" with different outputs. At this point,
no mode is included.
The osnoise.c includes the osnoise_context abstraction. It serves to
read-save-change-restore the default values from tracing/osnoise/
directory. When the context is deleted, the default values are restored.
It also includes some other helper functions for managing osnoise
tracer sessions.
With these bits and pieces in place, we can start adding some
functionality to rtla.

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.
rtla --help works and provide information about the available options.
This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.
