commita4dfce7559upstream. Currently, when either SIGINT from the user or SIGALRM from the duration timer is caught by rtla-timerlat, stop_tracing is set to break out of the main loop. This is not sufficient for cases where the timerlat tracer is producing more data than rtla can consume, since in that case, rtla is looping indefinitely inside tracefs_iterate_raw_events, never reaches the check of stop_tracing and hangs. In addition to setting stop_tracing, also stop the timerlat tracer on received signal (SIGINT or SIGALRM). This will stop new samples so that the existing samples may be processed and tracefs_iterate_raw_events eventually exits.

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.
