Thanks, Tomas The following changes since commit 0d5077c73aceb51ef10d096160dd62a11db2f3e4: MAINTAINERS: Add Tomas Glozar as a maintainer to RTLA tool (2025-11-14 12:24:41 -0500) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglozar/linux.git/ tags/rtla-v6.19 for you to fetch changes up to 368434d20d021aac8071bd08b1a471c588ce9ccd: rtla/timerlat: Exit top main loop on any non-zero wait_retval (2025-11-20 13:26:55 +0100) ---------------------------------------------------------------- RTLA patches for v6.19 Fixes and minor cleanups for RTLA, targetting v6.19 via linux-trace tools/for-next: - Add for_each_monitored_cpu() helper In multiple places, RTLA tools iterate over the list of CPUs running tracer threads. Use single helper instead of repeating the for/if combination. - Remove unused variable option_index in argument parsing RTLA tools use getopt_long() for argument parsing. For its last argument, an unused variable "option_index" is passed. Remove the variable and pass NULL to getopt_long() to shorten the naturally long parsing functions, and make them more readable. - Fix unassigned nr_cpus after code consolidation In recent code consolidation, timerlat tool cleanup, previously implemented separately for each tool, was moved to a common function timerlat_free(). The cleanup relies on nr_cpus being set. This was not done in the new function, leaving the variable uninitialized. Initialize the variable properly, and remove silencing of compiler warning for uninitialized variables. - Stop tracing on user latency in BPF mode Despite the name, rtla-timerlat's -T/--thread option sets timerlat's stop_tracing_total_us option, which also stops tracing on return-from-user latency, not only on thread latency. Implement the same behavior also in BPF sample collection stop tracing handler to avoid a discrepancy and restore correspondence of behavior with the equivalent option of cyclictest. - Fix threshold actions always triggering A bug in threshold action logic caused the action to execute even if tracing did not stop because of threshold. Fix the logic to stop correctly. - Fix few minor issues in tests Extend tests that were shown to need it to 5s, fix osnoise test calling timerlat by mistake, and use new, more reliable output checking in timerlat's "top stop at failed action" test. - Do not print usage on argument parsing error RTLA prints the entire usage message on encountering errors in argument parsing, like a malformed CPU list. The usage message has gotten too long. Instead of printing it, use newly added fatal() helper function to simply exit with the error message, excluding the usage. - Fix unintuitive -C/--cgroup interface "-C cgroup" and "--cgroup cgroup" are invalid syntax, despite that being a common way to specify an option with argument. Moreover, using them fails silently and no cgroup is set. Create new helper function to unify the handling of all such options and allow all of: -Xsomething -X=something -X something as well as the equivalent for the long option. - Fix -a overriding -t argument filename Fix a bug where -a following -t custom_file.txt overrides the custom filename with the default timerlat_trace.txt. - Stop tracing correctly on multiple events at once In some race scenarios, RTLA BPF sample collection might send multiple stop tracing events via the BPF ringbuffer at once. Compare the number of events for != 0 instead of == 1 to cover for this scenario and stop tracing properly. The tag was tested on both a non-RT-tuned and an RT-tuned machine, and no issues were found besides known cases of the flakiness of tests for stack dump and auto-analysis, which rely on correct order of events. The patchset mostly consists of fixes originally targetting one of the v6.18-rcs rather than linux-next and the v6.19 merge window; one of them is even Cc: stable. The delay was caused by maintainership handover of RTLA.
