Linus Torvalds 9e1e9d6602 Merge tag 'trace-rtla-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull RTLA updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Simplify option parsing

   Auto-generate getopt_long() optstring for short options from long
   options array, avoiding the need to specify it manually and reducing
   the surface for mistakes.

 - Add unit tests

   Implement unit tests (make unit-tests) using libcheck, next to
   existing runtime tests (make check). Currently, three functions from
   utils.c are tested.

 - Add --stack-format option

   In addition to stopping stack pointer decoding (with -s/--stack
   option) on first unresolvable pointer, allow also skipping
   unresolvable pointers and displaying everything, configurable with a
   new option.

 - Unify number of CPUs into one global variable

   Use one global variable, nr_cpus, to store the number of CPUs instead
   of retrieving it and passing it at multiple places.

 - Fix behavior in various corner cases

   Make RTLA behave correctly in several corner cases: memory allocation
   failure, invalid value read from kernel side, thread creation
   failure, malformed time value input, and read/write failure or
   interruption by signal.

 - Improve string handling

   Simplify several places in the code that handle strings, including
   parsing of action arguments. A few new helper functions and variables
   are added for that purpose.

 - Get rid of magic numbers

   Few places handling paths use a magic number of 1024. Replace it with
   MAX_PATH and ARRAY_SIZE() macro.

 - Unify threshold handling

   Code that handles response to latency threshold is duplicated between
   tools, which has led to bugs in the past. Unify it into a new helper
   as much as possible.

 - Fix segfault on SIGINT during cleanup

   The SIGINT handler touches dynamically allocated memory. Detach it
   before freeing it during cleanup to prevent segmentation fault and
   discarding of output buffers. Also, properly document SIGINT handling
   while at it.
