The +*osnoise* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the +time in a loop while with preemption, softirq and IRQs enabled, thus +allowing all the sources of operating systme noise during its execution. +The *osnoise*'s tracer threads take note of the delta between each time +read, along with an interference counter of all sources of interference. +At the end of each period, the *osnoise* tracer displays a summary of +the results. diff --git a/Documentation/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.rst b/Documentation/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c129b206ce34 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.rst @@ -0,0 +1,59 @@ +=============== +rtla-osnoise +=============== +------------------------------------------------------------------ +Measure the operating system noise +------------------------------------------------------------------ + +:Manual section: 1 + +SYNOPSIS +======== +**rtla osnoise** [*MODE*] ... + +DESCRIPTION +=========== + +.. include:: common_osnoise_description.rst + +The *osnoise* tracer outputs information in two ways.
