Tomas Glozar 39854d3821 rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads 
commit 217f0b1e99 upstream.

When using rtla timerlat with userspace threads (-u or -U), rtla
disables the OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option in
/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options. This option is not re-enabled in a
subsequent run with kernel-space threads, leading to rtla collecting no
results if the previous run exited abnormally:

$ rtla timerlat top -u
^\Quit (core dumped)
$ rtla timerlat top -k -d 1s
                                     Timer Latency
  0 00:00:01   |          IRQ Timer Latency (us)        |         Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT      |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max

The issue persists until OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set manually by running:
$ echo OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options

Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD when running rtla with kernel-space threads if
available to fix the issue.

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.
