[PATCH V2 2/9] rtla: Add --house-keeping option

From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
Date: Tue May 23 2023 - 13:45:03 EST


To avoid having rtla interfering with the measurement threads, add an
option for the user to set the CPUs in which rtla should run. For
instance:

# rtla timerlat top -H 0 -C 1-7

Will place rtla in the CPU 0, while running the measurement threads in
the CPU 1-7.
