[PATCH V6 14/20] rtla: Add Documentation

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-10-26 22:09:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: documentation, real-time linux analysis (rtla) tools, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Steven Rostedt, Tomas Glozar, Linus Torvalds

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.

As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.

The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+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.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**osnoise**
+
+        Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+        Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+        Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
+
+SEE ALSO
+========
+**rtla-osnoise**\(1), **rtla-timerlat**\(1)
