[PATCH V3 08/15] rtla: Add --trigger support

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 14:03:34 EST


Add --trigger option. This option enables a trace event trigger to the
previous -e sys:event argument, allowing some advanced tracing options.

For instance, in a system with CPUs 2:23 isolated, it is possible to get
a stack trace of thread wakeup targeting those CPUs while running
osnoise with the following command line:

# osnoise top -c 2-23 -a 50 -e sched:sched_wakeup --trigger="stacktrace if target_cpu >= 2"

This option is available for all current tools.
