Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 79ce8f43ac rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool
The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims
to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing
Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing capabilities to
provide precise information about the properties and root causes of
unexpected results.

rtla --help works and provide information about the available options.

This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.

RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools
The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that
aims to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But, instead of
testing Linux as a black box, rtla leverages kernel tracing
capabilities to provide precise information about the properties
and root causes of unexpected results.
Installing RTLA
RTLA depends on some libraries and tools. More precisely, it depends on the
following libraries:
- libtracefs
- libtraceevent
- procps
It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.
For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
$ cd libtraceevent/
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
$ cd libtracefs/
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ cd $rtla_src
$ make
$ sudo make install
For further information, please refer to the rtla man page.
