Pull tracing tool updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Specific for timerlat:
- Improve the output of timerlat top by adding a missing \n, and by
avoiding printing color-formatting characters where they are
translated to regular characters.
- Improve timerlat auto-analysis output by replacing '\t' with spaces
to avoid copy-and-paste issues when reporting problems.
- 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"

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 reStructuredText 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.
