Parsing and formating timerlat data might consume a reasonable
amount of CPU time on very large systems, or when timerlat
has a too short period.
Add an option to run timerlat with auto-analysis enabled while
skipping the statistics parsing. In this mode, rtla timerlat
periodically checks if the tracing is on, going to sleep waiting
for the stop tracing condition to stop tracing, or for the
tracing session to finish.
If the stop tracing condition is hit, the tool prints the auto
analysis. Otherwise, the tool prints the max observed latency and
exit. The max observed latency is captured via tracing_max_latency.

Pull RTLA tracing tool updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Real Time Analysis Tool updatesfor 5.18:
- Support for adjusting tracing_threashold
- Add -a (auto) option to make it easier for users to debug in the field
- Add -e option to add more events to the trace
- Add --trigger option to add triggers to events
- Add --filter option to filter events
- Add support to save histograms to the file
- Add --dma-latency to set /dev/cpu_dma_latency
- Other fixes and cleanups"
* tag 'trace-rtla-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
rtla: Tools main loop cleanup
rtla/timerlat: Add --dma-latency option
rtla/osnoise: Fix osnoise hist stop tracing message
rtla: Check for trace off also in the trace instance
rtla/trace: Save event histogram output to a file
rtla: Add --filter support
rtla/trace: Add trace event filter helpers
rtla: Add --trigger support
rtla/trace: Add trace event trigger helpers
rtla: Add -e/--event support
rtla/trace: Add trace events helpers
rtla/timerlat: Add the automatic trace option
rtla/osnoise: Add the automatic trace option
rtla/osnoise: Add an option to set the threshold
rtla/osnoise: Add support to adjust the tracing_thresh
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.

Add the -a/--auto <arg in us> option. This option sets some commonly
used options while debugging the system. It aims to help users produce
reports in the field, reducing the number of arguments passed to the
tool in the first approach to a problem.
It is equivalent to setting osnoise/stop_tracing_us with the argument,
setting tracing_thresh to 1 us, and saving the trace to osnoise_trace.txt
file if the trace is stopped automatically.

eprobes: Remove redundant event type information
tracing: Have traceon and traceoff trigger honor the instance
tracing: Dump stacktrace trigger to the corresponding instance
rtla: Fix systme -> system typo on man page
Currently, --entries uses -e as the short version in the hist mode of
timerlat and osnoise tools. But as -e is already used to enable events
on trace sessions by other tools, thus let's keep it available for the
same usage for all rtla tools.
Make -E the short version of --entries for hist mode on all tools.
Note: rtla was merged in this merge window, so rtla was not released yet.

The RTLA documents were added to Documentation/ but never hooked into the
rest of the docs build, leading to a bunch of warnings like:
Documentation/tools/rtla/rtla-osnoise.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
Add some basic glue to wire these documents into the build so that they are
available with the rest of the rendered docs. No attempt has been made to
turn the RTLA docs into proper RST files rather than warmed-over man pages;
that is an exercise for the future.
