+ select GENERIC_TRACER

+ help
+ In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating
+ System Noise (osnoise) refers to the interference experienced by an
+ application due to activities inside the operating system. In the
+ context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread
+ can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can
+ also cause noise, for example, via SMIs.
+
+ The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
+ loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
+ the sources of osnoise during its execution. The osnoise tracer takes
+ note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences,
+ increasing a per-cpu interference counter. It saves an interference
+ counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for
+ NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool
+ observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens
+ without any interference from the operating system level, the
+ hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related
+ noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of
+ interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints
+ the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
+ available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
+
+ In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
+ facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.
+
+ The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
+
+ To enable this tracer, echo in "osnoise" into the current_tracer

+ help
+ The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
+ to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
+
+ The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
+ The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
+ to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
+ then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
+ the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
+ to expire.
+
+ The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
+ timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
+ activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
+ by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
+ ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
+ respective thread execution.
+
+ The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
+ events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
+ IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the
+ stacktrace at the IRQ context, which helps to identify the code
+ path that can cause thread delay.
