Hi Luis, This is not rtla/osnoise but tracing/osnoise, so the Subject would be: [PATCH] tracing/osnoise: Set the default threshold to 1 us On 6/10/24 15:23, Luis Claudio R. Goncalves wrote:
Change the default threshold for osnoise to 1us, so that any noise equal or above this value is recorded. Let the user set a higher threshold if necessary.
The reason why I place fear instead of one was "fear" of having the loop taking more then one us, creating false noise notifications because of execution time. But it actually never happened, even on low speed arm boxes... Also, all users I know are setting it to 1 on rtla... so I think it is safe to move the value to 1.
