Linux kernel source tree

The osnoise workload runs with preemption and IRQs enabled in such a way as to allow all sorts of noise to disturb osnoise's execution. hwlat tracer has a similar workload but works with irq disabled, allowing only NMIs and the hardware to generate noise. While thinking about adding an options file to hwlat tracer to allow the system to panic, and other features I was thinking to add, like having a tracepoint at each noise detection, it came to my mind that is easier to make osnoise and also do hardware latency detection than making hwlat "feature compatible" with osnoise. Other points are: - osnoise already has an independent cpu file. - osnoise has a more intuitive interface, e.g., runtime/period vs. window/width (and people often need help remembering what it is). - osnoise: tracepoints - osnoise stop options - osnoise options file itself Moreover, the user-space side (in rtla) is simplified by reusing the existing osnoise code. Finally, people have been asking me about using osnoise for hw latency detection, and I have to explain that it was sufficient but not necessary. These options make it sufficient and necessary. Adding a Suggested-by Clark, as he often asked me about this possibility.

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 Restructured Text 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.
