@ -109,6 +109,11 @@ The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are:
- tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be
considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will
be used, which is currently 5 us.
- osnoise/options: a set of on/off options that can be enabled by
writing the option name to the file or disabled by writing the option
name preceded with the 'NO_' prefix. For example, writing
NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD disables the OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option. The
special DEAFAULTS option resets all options to the default value.

The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens
before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual
approach: measuring thread and tracing.
Running osnoise tracer without workload
---------------------------------------
By enabling the osnoise tracer with the NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option set,
the osnoise: tracepoints serve to measure the execution time of
any type of Linux task, free from the interference of other tasks.
