| - | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-timerlat.html|rtla timerlat]] measures IRQ and thread timer latency. Modes: [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-timerlat-top.html|top]], [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-timerlat-hist.html|hist]]. | + | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-timerlat.html|rtla timerlat]] measures IRQ and kernel thread timer latency with [[https://docs.kernel.org/trace/timerlat-tracer.html|timerlat tracer]].

| - | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.html|rtla osnoise]] provides information about operating system noise. It dispatches kernel threads per CPU to measure various sources of interference during execution, such as preemption, softirq, and IRQs. Modes: [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise-top.html|top]], [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise-hist.html|hist]]. | + | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.html|rtla osnoise]] provides information about operating system noise measured with [[https://docs.kernel.org/trace/osnoise-tracer.html|osnoise tracer]].

Modes: [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise-top.html|top]], [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise-hist.html|hist]]. |
| - | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-hwnoise.html|rtla hwnoise]] detects and quantifies hardware-related noise. By disabling interrupts and scheduling of threads, only non-maskable interrupts and hardware-related noise are analyzed. | + | * [[https://docs.kernel.org/tools/rtla/rtla-hwnoise.html|rtla hwnoise]] detects and quantifies hardware-related noise with [[https://docs.kernel.org/trace/osnoise-tracer.html|osnoise tracer]].

| Each of these commands has various options for configuration, such as setting tracer periods, runtimes, thresholds, scheduling parameters, trace events and triggers, and more. These commands offer different ways to analyze and understand the real-time properties and noise sources in the Linux operating system. | Each of these commands has various options for configuration, such as setting tracer periods, runtimes, thresholds, scheduling parameters, trace events and triggers, and more.

| + | ===== Events ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Arguments to enable common events for automatic and trace options: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''<nowiki> | ||
| + | -e sched:sched_switch -e sched:sched_wakeup -e sched:sched_migrate_task -e irq -e irq_vectors -e timer -e workqueue | ||
| + | </nowiki>'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | To see all enabled events, run: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''<nowiki> | ||
| + | grep 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/ -R --include enable | ||
| + | </nowiki>'' | ||
