Tracing:
- Update makefiles for latency-collector and RTLA, using tools/build/
makefiles like perf does, inheriting its benefits. For example, having a
proper way to handle library dependencies.
- The timerlat tracer has an interface for any tool to use. rtla timerlat
tool uses this interface dispatching its own threads as workload. But,
rtla timerlat could also be used for any other process. So, add 'rtla
timerlat -U' option, allowing the timerlat tool to measure the latency of
any task using the timerlat tracer interface.
Verification:
- Update makefiles for verification/rv, using tools/build/ makefiles like
perf does, inheriting its benefits. For example, having a proper way to
handle dependencies.

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 reStructuredText 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.
