[for-next][PATCH 16/31] rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.
