Merge tag 'trace-tools-v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing tooling updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add cgroup support for rtla via the -C option - Add --house-keeping option that tells rtla where to place the housekeeping threads - Have rtla/timerlat have its own tracing instance instead of using the top level tracing instance that is the default for other tracing users to use - Add auto analysis to timerlat_hist - Have rtla start the tracers after creating the instances - Reduce rtla hwnoise down to 75% from 100% as it runs with preemption disabled and can cause system instability at 100% - Add support to run timerlat_top and timerlat_hist threads in user-space instead of just using the kernel tasks - Some minor clean ups and documentation changes * tag 'trace-tools-v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: Add tools/rtla timerlat -u option documentation rtla/timerlat_hist: Add timerlat user-space support rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support rtla/hwnoise: Reduce runtime to 75% rtla: Start the tracers after creating all instances rtla/timerlat_hist: Add auto-analysis support rtla/timerlat: Give timerlat auto analysis its own instance rtla: Automatically move rtla to a house-keeping cpu rtla: Change monitored_cpus from char * to cpu_set_t rtla: Add --house-keeping option rtla: Add -C cgroup support
