+=====================
+
+NAME
+----
+rtla-timerlat-hist - Histograms of the operating system timer latency
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*rtla timerlat hist* ['OPTIONS'] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The rtla-hist-hist(1) mode displays a histogram of each tracer event occurrence.
+
+The rtla-timerlat(1) tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer. The
+timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a
+periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the wakeup,
+they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of operating
+system timer latency.
+
+The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints
+the timer latency at the timer 'IRQ' handler and the 'Thread' handler. It
+also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints. This
+tool uses the periodic information, and the osnoise tracepoints are enabled
+when using the -T option.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-h*, *--help*::
+Print help menu.
+*-p*, *--period* 'us'::
+Set the timerlat tracer period in microseconds.
+*-i*, *--irq* 'us'::
+Stop trace if the irq latency is higher than the argument in us.
+*-T*, *--thread* 'us'::
+Stop trace if the thread latency is higher than the argument in us.
+*-s*, *--stack* 'us'::
+Save the stack trace at the IRQ if a thread latency is higher than the
+argument in us.
+*-c*, *--cpus* 'cpu-list'::
+Set the timerlat tracer to run the sample threads in the cpu-list.
+*-d*, *--duration* 'time[s|m|h|d]'::
+Set the duration of the session.
+*-T*, *--trace*['=file']::
+Save the stopped trace to ['file|timerlat_trace.txt'].
+*-P*, *--priority* 'o:prio|r:prio|f:prio|d:runtime:period'::
+Set scheduling parameters to the timerlat tracer threads, the format to
+set the priority are:
+ - 'o:prio' - use SCHED_OTHER with 'prio';
+ - 'r:prio' - use SCHED_RR with 'prio';
+ - 'f:prio' - use SCHED_FIFO with 'prio';
+ - 'd:runtime[us|ms|s]:period[us|ms|s]' - use SCHED_DEADLINE with 'runtime' and
+'period' in nanoseconds.
+
+*-b*, *--bucket-size* 'N'::
+Set the histogram bucket size (default 1).
+*-e*, *--entries* 'N'::
+Set the number of entries of the histogram (default 256).
+*--no-irq*::
+Ignore IRQ latencies.
+*--no-thread*::
+Ignore thread latencies.
+*--no-header*::
+So not print header.
+*--no-summary*::
+Do not print summary.
+*--no-index*::
+So not print index.
+*--skip-zeros*::
+Skip zero only entries.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+In the example below, *rtla timerlat hist* is set to run for '10' minutes,
+in the cpus '0-4', 'skipping zero' only lines. Moreover, *rtla timerlat
+hist* will change the priority of the timelat threads to run under
+'SCHED_DEADLINE' priority, with a '10 us' runtime every '1 ms' period. The
+'1ms' period is also passed to the timerlat tracer.
