The timerlat tracer provides an interface for any application to wait for the timerlat's periodic wakeup. Currently, rtla timerlat uses it to dispatch its user-space workload (-u option). But as the tracer interface is generic, rtla timerlat can also be used to monitor any workload that uses it. For example, a user might place their own workload to wait on the tracer interface, and monitor the results with rtla timerlat. Add the -U option to rtla timerlat top and hist. With this option, rtla timerlat will not dispatch its workload but only setting up the system, waiting for a user to dispatch its workload. The sample code in this patch is an example of python application that loops in the timerlat tracer fd. To use it, dispatch: # rtla timerlat -U In a terminal, then run the python program on another terminal, specifying the CPU to run it. For example, setting on CPU 1: #./timerlat_load.py 1 Then rtla timerlat will start printing the statistics of the ./timerlat_load.py app. An interesting point is that the "Ret user Timer Latency" value is the overall response time of the load. The sample load does a memory copy to exemplify that. The stop tracing options on rtla timerlat works in this setup as well, including auto analysis.
