-The **rtla timerlat** 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 enable the trace of the most relevant information via
-**osnoise:** tracepoints.
