The +*timerlat* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads +set a periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After +the wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the +debugging of operating system timer latency. + +The *timerlat* tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically +prints the timer latency at the timer *IRQ* handler and the *Thread* +handler. It also enable the trace of the most relevant information via +**osnoise:** tracepoints. |
