2f3172f9dd tools/rtla: Consolidate code between osnoise/timerlat and hist/top
Currently a lot of code is duplicated between the different rtla tools,
making maintenance more difficult, and encouraging divergence such as
features that are only implemented for certain tools even though they
could be more broadly applicable.

Merge the various main() functions into a common run_tool() with an ops
struct for tool-specific details.

Implement enough support for actions on osnoise to not need to keep the
old params->trace_output path.

5742bf62e6 tools/rtla: Move top/hist params into common struct
The hist members were very similar between timerlat and top, so
just use one common hist struct.

output_divisor, quiet, and pretty printing are pretty generic
concepts that can go in the main struct even if not every
specific tool (currently) uses them.

344823886e tools/rtla: Consolidate common parameters into shared structure
timerlat_params and osnoise_params structures contain 15 identical
fields.

Introduce a new header common.h and define a common_params structure to
consolidate shared fields, reduce code duplication, and enhance
maintainability.

3b78670e3a rtla/timerlat_bpf: Allow resuming tracing
Currently, rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a
.bss section to store whether tracing has been stopped.

Move the information to a separate map, so that it is easily writable
from userspace, and add a function that clears the value, resuming
tracing after it has been stopped.

8020361d51 rtla: Define _GNU_SOURCE in timerlat_bpf.c
Newer versions of glibc include a definition of struct sched_attr in
bits/sched.h (included through sched.h which is included by rtla).
Commit 0eecee3406 ("tools/rtla: fix collision with glibc
sched_attr/sched_set_attr") has modified the definition of struct
sched_attr in utils.h, so that it is only applied with older versions of
glibc that do not define it, in order to prevent build failure.

The definition in bits/sched.h depends on _GNU_SOURCE.
timerlat_bpf.c does not define _GNU_SOURCE, making it fall back to the
definition in utils.h. The latter has two fields less, leading to
shifted offsets of struct timerlat_params in timerlat_bpf_init.

Because of the shift, timerlat_bpf_init incorrectly reads
params->entries as 0 for timerlat-hist and disables the creation of
histogram maps, causing breakage in BPF sample collection mode:

$ rtla timerlat hist -d 1s
Error pulling BPF data

Fix the issue by also defining _GNU_SOURCE in timerlat_bpf.c.

e34293ddce rtla/timerlat: Add BPF skeleton to collect samples
Add BPF program that attaches to the osnoise:timerlat_sample tracepoint
and collects both the summary and the histogram (if requested) into BPF
maps (one map of each kind per context).

The program is designed to be used for both timerlat-top and
timerlat-hist. If using with timerlat-top, the "entries" parameter is
set to zero, which prevents the BPF program from recording histogram
entries. In that case, the maps for histograms do not have to be
created, as the BPF verifier will identify the code using them as
unreachable.

An IRQ or thread latency threshold might be supplied to stop recording
if hit, similar to the timerlat tracer threshold, which stops ftrace
tracing if hit. A BPF ringbuffer is used to signal threshold overflow to
userspace. In aa-only mode, this is the only function of the BPF
program.
