This is a legit warning, but data->bucket_size is always > 0 (see
timerlat_hist_parse_args()), so the if is not necessary.
Remove the unneeded if (data->bucket_size) to avoid the warning.

If no CPU list is passed, timerlat in user-space will dispatch
one thread per sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). However, not all
CPU might be available, for instance, if HT is disabled.
Currently, rtla timerlat is stopping the session if an user-space
thread cannot set affinity to a CPU, or if a running user-space
thread is killed. However, this is too restrictive.
So, reduce the error to a debug message, and rtla timerlat run as
long as there is at least one user-space thread alive.

timerlat auto-analysis takes note of all IRQs, before or after the
execution of the timerlat thread.
Because we cannot go backward in the trace (we will fix it when
moving to trace-cmd lib?), timerlat aa take note of the last IRQ
execution in the waiting for the IRQ state, and then print it
if it is executed after the expected timer IRQ starting time.
After the thread sample, the timerlat starts recording the next IRQs as
"previous" irq for the next occurrence.
However, if an IRQ happens after the thread measurement but before the
tracing stops, it is classified as a previous IRQ. That is not
wrong, as it can be "previous" for the subsequent activation. What is
wrong is considering it as a potential source for the last activation.
Ignore the IRQ interference that happens after the IRQ starting time for
now. A future improvement for timerlat can be either keeping a list of
previous IRQ execution or using the trace-cmd library. Still, it requires
further investigation - it is a new feature.

When estimating the IRQ timer delay, we are dealing with two different
clock sources: the external clock source that timerlat uses as a reference
and the clock used by the tracer. There are also two moments: the time
reading the clock and the timer in which the event is placed in the
buffer (the trace event timestamp).
If the processor is slow or there is some hardware noise, the difference
between the timestamp and the external clock, read can be longer than the
IRQ handler delay, resulting in a negative time.
If so, set IRQ to start delay as 0. In the end, it is less near-zero and relevant
then the noise.

The thread thread_thread_sum accounts for thread interference
during a single activation. It was not being zeroed, so it was
accumulating thread interference over all activations.
It was not that visible when timerlat was the highest priority.

osnoise runs 100% of time by default. It makes sense because osnoise
is preemptive. hwnoise checks preemption once a second, so it
reduces system progress.
Reduce runtime to 75% to avoid problems by default. I added a Fixes
as it might avoid problems for first time users as it lands on distros.

Currently, the auto-analysis is attached to the timerlat top instance.
The idea was to avoid creating another instance just for that, so one
instance could be reused.
The drawback is that, by doing so, the auto-analysis run for the entire
session, consuming CPU time. On my 24 box CPUs for timerlat with a 100
us period consumed 50 % with auto analysis, but only 16 % without.
By creating an instance for auto-analysis, we can keep the processing
stopped until a stop tracing condition is hit. Once it happens,
timerlat auto-analysis can use its own trace instance to parse only
the end of the trace.
By doing so, auto-analysis stop consuming cpu time when it is not
needed.
If the --aa-only is passed, the timerlat top instance is reused for
auto analysis.

When the user sets -c <cpu-list> try to move rtla out of the <cpu-list>,
even without an -H option. This is useful to avoid having rtla
interfering with the workload.
This works by removing <cpu-list> from rtla's current affinity.
If rtla fails to move itself away it is not that of a problem as this
is an automatic measure.

To avoid having rtla interfering with the measurement threads, add an
option for the user to set the CPUs in which rtla should run. For
instance:
# rtla timerlat top -H 0 -c 1-7
Will place rtla in the CPU 0, while running the measurement threads in
the CPU 1-7.

Parsing and formating timerlat data might consume a reasonable
amount of CPU time on very large systems, or when timerlat
has a too short period.
Add an option to run timerlat with auto-analysis enabled while
skipping the statistics parsing. In this mode, rtla timerlat
periodically checks if the tracing is on, going to sleep waiting
for the stop tracing condition to stop tracing, or for the
tracing session to finish.
If the stop tracing condition is hit, the tool prints the auto
analysis. Otherwise, the tool prints the max observed latency and
exit. The max observed latency is captured via tracing_max_latency.

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer
to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

The hwnoise tool is a special mode for the osnoise top tool.
hwnoise dispatches the osnoise tracer and displays a summary of the noise.
The difference is that it runs the tracer with the OSNOISE_IRQ_DISABLE
option set, thus only allowing only hardware-related noise, resulting in
a simplified output. hwnoise has the same features of osnoise.
An example of the tool's output:

Currently, timerlat top displays the timerlat tracer latency results, saving
the intuitive timerlat trace for the developer to analyze.
This patch goes a step forward in the automaton of the scheduling latency
analysis by providing a summary of the root cause of a latency higher than
the passed "stop tracing" parameter if the trace stops.
The output is intuitive enough for non-expert users to have a general idea
of the root cause by looking at each factor's contribution percentage while
keeping the technical detail in the output for more expert users to start
an in dept debug or to correlate a root cause with an existing one.
The terminology is in line with recent industry and academic publications
to facilitate the understanding of both audiences.

thread stacktrace: the current thread (objtool:49256) disabled interrupts
via raw spin lock operations inside mem cgroup, while doing write
syscall in a btrfs file system.
A simple search for the function name on Google shows that this is
a legit case for disabling the interrupts:
cgroup: Use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked()
lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220301122143.1521823-2-bigeasy@linutronix.de/
The output also prints other reasons for the latency root cause, such as:
- an IRQ that happened before the IRQ handler that caused delays
- The interference from NMI, IRQ, Softirq, and Threads
The details about how these factors affect the scheduling latency
can be found here:

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.

rtla_usage(), osnoise_usage() and timerlat_usage() all exit with an
error status.
However when these are called from help, they should exit with a
non-error status.
Fix this by passing the exit status to the functions.
Note, although we remove the subsequent call to exit after calling
usage, we leave it in at the end of a function to suppress the compiler
warning "control reaches end of a non-void function".

Sedat Dilek reported an error on rtla Makefile when running:

rm: cannot remove '/home/dileks/src/linux-kernel/git': Is a directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:120: clean] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
This occurred because the rtla calls kernel's Makefile to get the
version in silence mode, e.g.,
$ make -sC ../../.. kernelversion
5.19.0-rc4
But the -s is being ignored when rtla's makefile is called indirectly,
so the output looks like this:
$ make -C ../../.. kernelversion
make: Entering directory '/root/linux'
5.19.0-rc4
make: Leaving directory '/root/linux'
Using 'grep -v make' avoids this problem, e.g.,
$ make -C ../../.. kernelversion | grep -v make
5.19.0-rc4
Thus, add | grep -v make.

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.

Linus had a problem compiling RTLA, saying:
"[...] I wish the tracing tools would do a bit more package
checking and helpful error messages too, rather than just
fail with:
fatal error: tracefs.h: No such file or directory"
Which is indeed not a helpful message. Update the Makefile, adding
proper checks for the dependencies, with useful information about
how to resolve possible problems.
For example, the previous error is now reported as:
$ make
********************************************
