+RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools
+
+The rtla meta-tool includes a set of commands that aims to analyze
+the real-time properties of Linux. 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 the following libraries and tools:
+
+ - libtracefs
+ - libtraceevent
+
+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.
