- Remove unused function declarations Some functions were removed in recent code consolidation 6.18, but their prototypes were not removed from headers. Remove them. - Set stop threshold after enabling instances Prefer recording samples without stopping on them on the start of tracing to stopping on samples that are never recorded. This fixes flakiness of some RTLA tests and unifies behavior of sample collection between tracefs mode and BPF mode. - Consolidate usage help message implementation RTLA tools (osnoise-top, osnoise-hist, timerlat-top, timerlat-hist) each implement usage help individually. Move common logic between them into a new function to reduce code duplication. - Add BPF actions feature Add option --bpf-action to attach a BPF program (passed as filename of its ELF representation) to be executed via BPF tail call at latency threshold. - Consolidate command line option parsing Each RTLA tool implements the parsing of command line options individually. Now that we have a common structure for parameters, unify the parsing of those options common among all four tools into one function. - De-duplicate cgroup common code Two functions in utils.c, setting cgroup for comm and setting cgroup for pid, duplicate code for constructing the cgroup path. Extract it to a new helper function. - String and error handling fixes and cleanups There were several instances of unsafe string and error handling that could cause invalid memory access; fix them. Also, remove a few unused headers, update .gitignore, and deduplicate code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCaY3l2RQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qrWcAP4lsfIbNhfvmc9htDON/GlCu9FK8PTT hmAsO7MeHh29OwD+OS7RZzRza+3G+B4aTcqUXQVfAvx9qenS591LcktQSAo= =VUW2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-rtla-v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull RTLA updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove unused function declarations Some functions were removed in recent code consolidation 6.18, but their prototypes were not removed from headers.
