2026-08-05rtla: Allow unsetting non-list custom-callback CLI optionsTomas Glozar1-26/+16
libsubcmd implicitly allows the user to unset already set options using a "no-" prefix for long options. For example, if I set the period like this: $ rtla timerlat -D Loading BPF program reading osnoise/timerlat_period_us returned 1000 setting osnoise/timerlat_period_us to 1000 reading osnoise/print_stack returned 0 setting osnoise/print_stack to 0 ... <timerlat top> it can be unset by a subsequent --no-debug: $ rtla timerlat -D --no-debug ... <timerlat top> Currently, this works only for boolean options. Extend the feature for all options by implementing handling of the "unset" argument in opt_*() callbacks defined in cli_p.h, except for list options, i.e. options that can be passed multiple times (--event, --filter, --trigger, --on-threshold, --on-end). This allows, for example, unsetting of int/long long options, e.g. "-p": $ rtla timerlat -D -p100 --no-period ... setting osnoise/timerlat_period_us to 1000 ... By default, options in params struct are reset to zero. A constant is added for every parameter with a different default value, which is then used both in <tool>_hist_args() while setting the initial value and in opt_*() when unsetting the option. This refactoring ensures there is no duplicate "magic number". The default value for opt_llong_callback() and opt_int_callback() is passed in struct option's defval field; new macros RTLA_OPT_{LLONG,INT}{,_DEFVAL} are added to define the field conveniently. The default value for other callbacks is hardcoded inside each callback's unset logic.

2026-05-28rtla/timerlat: Add -A/--aligned CLI optionTomas Glozar1-0/+2
Add a new option, -A/--aligned, that enables timerlat thread alignment implemented on the kernel-side in commit 4245bf4dc58f ("tracing/osnoise: Add option to align tlat threads"). The option takes an argument, representing alignment between timerlat threads in microseconds. The feature is modeled after the option of the same name in the cyclictest tool.

2026-05-28rtla/tests: Add unit tests for _parse_args() functionsTomas Glozar1-4/+4
Add a test suite for the _parse_args() function of each tool that checks the params structures (struct common_params, struct osnoise_params, struct timerlat_params) returned by them for correctness. One test case is added per option, as well as a few special cases for tricky combinations of options. Test cases are ordered the same as the option arrays and help message to allow easy checking of whether all options are covered. This should help clarify what the proper command line behavior of RTLA is in case there are holes in the documentation and verify that the intended behavior is implemented correctly. A few necessary changes to the unit tests were done as part of this commit: - Unit tests now also link to libsubcmd and its dependencies. - A new global variable in_unit_test is added to RTLA's CLI interface, causing it to skip check for root if running in unit tests. This allows the CLI unit tests to run as non-root, like existing unit tests. There is quite a lot of duplication, some of it is mitigated with macros, but partially it is intentional so that future changes in behavior are tracked across tools.

2026-05-28rtla: Parse cmdline using libsubcmdTomas Glozar1-0/+537
Instead of using getopt_long() directly to parse the command line arguments given to an RTLA tool, use libsubcmd's parse_options(). Utilizing libsubcmd for parsing command line arguments has several benefits: - A help message is automatically generated by libsubcmd from the specification, removing the need of writing it by hand. - Options are sorted into groups based on which part of tracing (CPU, thread, auto-analysis, tuning, histogram) they relate to. - Common parsing patterns for numerical and boolean values now share code, with the target variable being stored in the option array. To avoid duplication of the option parsing logic, RTLA-specific macros defining struct option values are created: - RTLA_OPT_* for options common to all tools - OSNOISE_OPT_* and TIMERLAT_OPT_* for options specific to osnoise/timerlat tools - HIST_OPT_* macros for options specific to histogram-based tools. Individual *_parse_args() functions then construct an array out of these macros that is then passed to libsubcmd's parse_options(). All code specific to command line options parsing is moved out of the individual tool files into a new file, cli.c, which also contains the contents of the rtla.c file. A private header, cli_p.h, is added alongside the public header cli.h, so that unit tests are able to test statically declared option callbacks. Minor changes: - The return value of tool-level help option changes to 129, as this is the value set by libsubcmd; this is reflected in affected test cases. The implementation of help for command-level and tracer-level help is set to 129 as well for consistency, and the change is reflected in exit value documentation. - Related to the above, {rtla,osnoise,timerlat}_usage() are marked __noreturn and exit() is removed from after they are called for cleaner code. - The error messages for invalid argument for options --dma-latency and -E/--entries were corrected, fixing off-by-one in the limits. Note that unsetting options (using --no-<opt> syntax) is currently not implemented for options that use custom callbacks. For --irq and --thread, it will never be implemented, as they conflict with already existing --no-irq and --no-thread with a different meaning.
