1RTLA: Real-Time Linux Analysis tools
2
3The rtla meta-tool includes a set of commands that aims to analyze
4the real-time properties of Linux. Instead of testing Linux as a black box,
5rtla leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide precise information
6about the properties and root causes of unexpected results.

8Installing RTLA
9
10RTLA depends on the following libraries and tools:
11
12 - libtracefs
13 - libtraceevent
14 - libcpupower (optional, for --deepest-idle-state)
15
16It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.
17
18For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:
19
20 $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
21 $ cd libtraceevent/
22 $ make
23 $ sudo make install
24 $ cd ..
25 $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
26 $ cd libtracefs/
27 $ make
28 $ sudo make install
29 $ cd ..
30 $ cd $libcpupower_src
31 $ make
32 $ sudo make install
33 $ cd $rtla_src
34 $ make
35 $ sudo make install
