- Timerlat is reporting thread interference time without thread noise
events occurrence. It was caused because the thread interference variable
was not reset after the analysis of a timerlat activation that did not
hit the threshold.
- The IRQ handler delay is estimated from the delta of the IRQ latency
reported by timerlat, and the timestamp from IRQ handler start event.
If the delta is near-zero, the drift from the external clock and the
trace event and/or the overhead can cause the value to be negative.
If the value is negative, print a zero-delay.
- IRQ handlers happening after the timerlat thread event but before
the stop tracing were being reported as IRQ that happened before the
*current* IRQ occurrence. Ignore Previous IRQ noise in this condition
because they are valid only for the *next* timerlat activation.
Timerlat user-space:
- Timerlat is stopping all user-space thread if a CPU becomes
offline. Do not stop the entire tool if a CPU is/become offline,
but only the thread of the unavailable CPU. Stop the tool only,
if all threads leave because the CPUs become/are offline.
man-pages:
- Fix command line example in timerlat hist man page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
