Spec URL: https://jkacur.fedorapeople.org/rtla.spec SRPM URL: https://jkacur.fedorapeople.org/rtla-5.17.0-4.fc36.src.rpm Description: The rtla tool 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.

as rtla is part of kernel, what about filing bug against kernel-tools package, where belongs perf, which looks like same case?
rtla was created following the same idea of perf. It is a tool strictly connected with the kernel, so it is part of it. But it is significant enough to have its own package. I think that bpftool follows the same model. We have use cases for the tool that would not like to benefit from the "Assortment of tools for the Linux kernel" of the kernel-tools package.
Hi Jiri We discussed it with the team, and there are a number of reasons that we wish to keep it separate from the subpackages in kernel-tools I won't list them all, but a few important ones. 1. kernel-tools is a group of tools related to each other, bpf, bpf libraries and perf, while rtla is separate unrelated tool from the ones in kernel-tools 2. We which to maintain control of the rtla build separate from the kernel version. - It might not be necessary to provide a new build of rtla everytime the kernel updates - We might wish to provide rtla builds in-between kernel updates - We will be backporting rtla to older kernels as well So, I will be looking into a method of providing an acceptable Source0 for the specfile
So, by kernel-tools, are you guys mentioning being part of the kernel-tools package or kernel-tools group of packages, i.e., I still can do "# dnf install rtla"?
@jforbes We were wondering with the kernel-tools package, does the maintainer of kernel-tools have to manually add the kernel source every time a new version of the kernel is available, or are there some kind of hooks that do this for you?

Yes, on the Fedora side of things, kernel-tools is maintained as a completely separate package and not as part of the kernel itself. I do handle it manually. There was a valid reason for the split quite some time ago, though that reasoning is slightly less valid these days, and I may fold it back into kernel. Either way, the resulting rpms would not change. For a build schedule, rawhide builds kernels tools with every linus rc release, but not with the daily git snapshots. For stable fedora releases, I build it for whatever version is being used to rebase the releases, and then only rebuild when there are changes in stable updates which require it, so not with every release. As rtla is a part of the upstream kernel tarball, it would make more sense just to add it as a subpackage. From a RHEL standpoint, kernel-tools subpackages are in the kernel spec, and built with every kernel. Again, it could easily be added as a subpackage there with an MR to kernel-ark (and I typically backport kernel-tools changes made to ark directly to kernel-tools in fedora as well).
Looks like I missed part of the context there, but I did go ahead and create an rtla subpackage to kernel-tools for Fedora, this is likely all that is needed for Fedora considering we are very current with upstream. Rawhide is the linus tree, with tools built every rc release and stable fedora releases follow Greg's stable tree, and rebase fairly early. The 5.18.0 kernel release was just over 2 weeks ago, and stable Fedora will likely rebase to 5.18.x next week. rpm -qlp kernel-tools/x86_64/rtla-5.19.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc37.x86_64.rpm /usr/bin/osnoise /usr/bin/rtla /usr/bin/timerlat /usr/lib/.build-id /usr/lib/.build-id/85/40b159a50de5a859b3168a9ee0f992fe546c40 /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-osnoise-hist.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-osnoise-top.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-osnoise.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-timerlat-hist.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-timerlat-top.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla-timerlat.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/rtla.1.gz A koji scratch build is available at: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=88036372 If you like that, it could show up in the rc2 kernel-tools build on Monday, and in F35/36 with the 5.18 rebases next week. As for managing the sources, it is rather done by hand. The upstream kernel tarball is downloaded and signature checked against kernel.org. Every stable update built or rc1 update is patch download from kernel.org, and included separately to the release kernel tarball: cat sources SHA512 (linux-5.18.tar.xz) = dbbc9d1395898a498fa4947fceda1781344fa5d360240f753810daa4fa88e519833e2186c4e582a8f1836e6413e9e85f6563c7770523b704e8702d67622f98b5 SHA512 (patch-5.19-rc1.xz) = 13952b8122f96698877f2da5ba3a3d155659f4ea7b651eac66f05627d96046665790dcbf3250e3a8567f286feccc5ef2143821ecd63d07023b8655a52716faec
Note, Justin and I have agreed to go forward with making rtla a subpackage of kernel-tools
can you please backport it to 5.18? :)
(In reply to Jiri Kastner from comment #14) > can you please backport it to 5.18? :) not yet having glasses for reading - i missed rebase note :)
It is in the 5.18 kernel-tools for f36. It is not present for F35 because one of the builddeps is too out of date. If those are updated, I am happy to add it to the next build. It is also currently in rawhide and the merge request to add it to ELN/kernel-ark is https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1901
