rtla: Make doc build optional

rtla build fails due to doc build dependency on rst2man. Make
doc build optional so rtla could be built without docs. Leave
the install dependency on doc_install alone.

Merge tag 'trace-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New:

- The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
directory.

- Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
"match-string"

- eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.

- trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
can revert the change if need be.

- New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.

- Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
instead of at bootup.

Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:

- Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
defined events.

- Some simplification of event trigger code.

- Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
events.

And other small fixes and cleanups"

rtla: Add Documentation

Adds the basis for rtla documentation. This patch also
includes the rtla(1) man page.

As suggested by Jonathan Corbet, we are placing these man
pages at Documentation/tools/rtla, using rst format. It
is not linked to the official documentation, though.

The Makefile is based on bpftool's Documentation one.

rtla: Add timerlat tool and timelart top mode

The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer.
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 provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints.

The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from
the timerlat tracer.

Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output:
---------- %< ----------
[root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m
Timer Latency
0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT | cur min avg max | cur min avg max
0 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 1 1 1 6
1 #60001 | 0 0 0 3 | 2 1 1 5
2 #60001 | 0 0 1 6 | 1 1 2 7
3 #60001 | 0 0 0 7 | 1 1 1 11
---------- >% ----------

Running:
# rtla timerlat --help
# rtla timerlat top --help
provides information about the available options.

rtla: Add osnoise tool

The osnoise tool is the interface for the osnoise tracer. The osnoise
tool will have multiple "modes" with different outputs. At this point,
no mode is included.

The osnoise.c includes the osnoise_context abstraction. It serves to
read-save-change-restore the default values from tracing/osnoise/
directory. When the context is deleted, the default values are restored.

It also includes some other helper functions for managing osnoise
tracer sessions.

With these bits and pieces in place, we can start adding some
functionality to rtla.

rtla: Real-Time Linux Analysis tool

The rtla is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims
to analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But 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.

rtla --help works and provide information about the available options.

This is just the "main" and the Makefile, no function yet.
