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
15It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.
16
17For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:
18
19  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
20  $ cd libtraceevent/
21  $ make
22  $ sudo make install
23  $ cd ..
24  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
25  $ cd libtracefs/
26  $ make
27  $ sudo make install
28  $ cd ..
29  $ cd $rtla_src
30  $ make
31  $ sudo make install
32
