I am using these more "generic terms" because they are also used by the timerlat
tracer.
In the timerlat tracer, the "in" file is used to stop the tracer for a given IRQ
latency (so, the "inside" operation), while the "out" is used to stop the tracer
in the thread latency (hence the outside operation).
The total sounds good for the "out"! But the single does not work fine for the
IRQ... how about: stop_tracing_partial_us ?
It is hard to find a good shared name :-/

There is a cond_resched() in the run_noise() loop. Thus making osnoise
"preemptible," allowing other threads to run (and to interfere).

well.... it seems to be worth trying! Question can I take a mutex on the hp
callback? (it will be the interface mutex).

I will do the same thing I did (as your request) for hwlat's mode: I will
stop/start the tracer to apply the changes.
Thanks Steven!
