SYNOPSIS |

**rtla timerlat top** [*OPTIONS*] ... |

DESCRIPTION |
|
=========== |
|
|
|
.. include:: common_timerlat_description.rst |
|
|
|
The **rtla timerlat top** displays a summary of the periodic output |
|
from the *timerlat* tracer. It also provides information for each |
|
operating system noise via the **osnoise:** tracepoints that can be |
|
seem with the option **-T**. |

EXAMPLE |
|
======= |
|
|
|
In the example below, the *timerlat* tracer is set to capture the stack trace at |
|
the IRQ handler, printing it to the buffer if the *Thread* timer latency is |
|
higher than *30 us*. It is also set to stop the session if a *Thread* timer |
|
latency higher than *30 us* is hit. Finally, it is set to save the trace |
|
buffer if the stop condition is hit:: |
|
|
|
[root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -s 30 -t 30 -T |

bash-109109 [007] d..h... 426.271265: #58634 context irq timer_latency 1211 ns |
|
timerlat/6-79756 [006] ....... 426.271267: timerlat_main: stop tracing hit on cpu 6 |
|
|
|
In the trace, it is possible the notice that the *IRQ* timer latency was |
|
already high, accounting *12505 ns*. The IRQ delay was caused by the |
|
*bash-109109* process that disabled IRQs in the wake-up path |
|
(*_try_to_wake_up()* function). The duration of the IRQ handler that woke |
|
up the timerlat thread, informed with the **osnoise:irq_noise** event, was |
|
also high and added more *12553 ns* to the Thread latency. Finally, the |
|
**osnoise:thread_noise** added by the currently running thread (including |
|
the scheduling overhead) added more *4769 ns*. Summing up these values, |
|
the *Thread* timer latency accounted for *30328 ns*. |
|
|
|
The primary reason for this high value is the wake-up path that was hit |
|
twice during this case: when the *bash-109109* was waking up a thread |
|
and then when the *timerlat* thread was awakened. This information can |
|
then be used as the starting point of a more fine-grained analysis. |
|
|
|
Note that **rtla timerlat** was dispatched without changing *timerlat* tracer |
|
threads' priority. That is generally not needed because these threads hava |
|
priority *FIFO:95* by default, which is a common priority used by real-time |
|
kernel developers to analyze scheduling delays. |
