Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing/tools: RTLA updates for 6.10


Linus,

Specific for timerlat:

- Improves the output of timerlat top by adding a missing \n,
  and by avoiding printing color-formatting characters where
  they are translated to regular characters.

- Improves timerlat auto-analysis output by replacing '\t'
  with spaces to avoid copy-and-paste issues when reporting
  problems.

- For timerlat, make the user-space (-u) option the default,
  as it is the most complete test. Add a -k option to use
  the in-kernel workload.

- On timerlat top and hist, add a summary with the overall
  results. For instance, the minimum value for all CPUs,
  the overall average and the maximum value from all CPUs.

- timerlat hist was printing initial values (i.e., 0 as max,
  and ~0 as min) if the trace stopped before the first Ret-User
  event. This problem was fixed by printing the "       - "
  no value string to the output if that was the case.

For all RTLA tools:

- Add a --warm-up <seconds> option, allowing the workload to
  run for <seconds> before starting to collect results.

- Add a --trace-buffer-size option, allowing the user to set
  the tracing buffer size for -t option. This option is mainly
  useful for reducing the trace file. Now rtla depends on
  libtracefs >= 1.6.

- Fix the -t [trace_file] parsing, now it does not require
  the '=' before the option parameter, and better handles the
  multiple ways a user can pass the trace_file.txt
