RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools
|
|
|
|
The rtla meta-tool includes a set of commands that aims to analyze
|
|
the real-time properties of Linux. 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 the following libraries and tools:
|
|
|
|
- libtracefs
|
|
- libtraceevent
|
|
- libcpupower (optional, for --deepest-idle-state)
|
|
|
|
For BPF sample collection support, the following extra dependencies are
|
|
required:
|
|
|
|
- libbpf 1.0.0 or later
|
|
- bpftool with skeleton support
|
|
- clang with BPF CO-RE support
|
|
|
|
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 $libcpupower_src
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
$ cd $rtla_src
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
For further information, please refer to the rtla man page.
