Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 42524cc5fe rtla/auto-analysis: Replace \t with spaces
commit a40e5e4dd0207485dee75e2b8e860d5853bcc5f7 upstream.

When copying timerlat auto-analysis from a terminal to some web pages or
chats, the \t are being replaced with a single ' ' or '    ', breaking
the output.

For example:
  ## CPU 3 hit stop tracing, analyzing it ##
    IRQ handler delay:                        1.30 us (0.11 %)
    IRQ latency:           1.90 us
    Timerlat IRQ duration:         3.00 us (0.24 %)
    Blocking thread:       1223.16 us (99.00 %)
                     insync:4048         1223.16 us
    IRQ interference          4.93 us (0.40 %)
                local_timer:236        4.93 us
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Thread latency:       1235.47 us (100%)

Replace \t with spaces to avoid this problem.

RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools

The rtla meta-tool includes a set of commands that aims to analyze
the real-time properties of Linux. Instead of testing Linux as a black box,
rtla leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide precise information
about the properties and root causes of unexpected results.

Installing RTLA

RTLA depends on the following libraries and tools:

 - libtracefs
 - libtraceevent

It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.

For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:

  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
  $ cd libtraceevent/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
  $ cd libtracefs/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ cd $rtla_src
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

For further information, please refer to the rtla man page.
