Dear RT Folks We are pleased to announce the latest version of rt-tests We have a number of interesting enhancements. Firstly Clark has formally removed the requirement to compile hwlatdetect as a module. Daniel Bristot de Oliveira has added a hardware SMI count detection using the MSR/SMI counter if available. Using the --smi option adds the count to the end of the output, it looks like this (per thread) T: 0 ( 2285) P:80 I:1000 C: 9975 Min: 2 Act: 3 Avg: 4 Max: 20831 SMI: 2 Finally Luis Capitulino has added an option to bypass cyclictest's built-in tracing so that this functionality can be handed off to another program - in particular trace-cmd. cyclictest continues to write to the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_maker file, but trace-cmd handles the tracing. trace-cmd record [...] cyclictest [...] -bX --tracemark We are nearing a 1.0 version of rt-tests. I'd like to have a round of bugfix/clean-up patches, and patches to add anything missing and then create a 1.0 version of rt-tests that we will continue to maintain, but that won't accept any new enhancements. We will also spin-off a development version (v2.x?) that will allow api changes. In the development version we are planning on ripping out the built-in tracing support for tighter integration with trace-cmd. The options in cyclictest have also become quite crufty and complicated and need to be radically reworked / simplified. The tests could also share code much better than they currently do. To fetch the latest version Clone one of the following if needed. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests.git https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests.git https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests.git tag: v0.97 You can also fetch the tarball here https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests-0.97.tar.xz https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests-0.97.tar.gz older versions are in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/rt-tests/older I have created a new devel branch which will beome 1.0 (unless we need a v0.99) devel/v0.98 I'll create the development line for 2.0 once we freeze 1.0 Thanks for all your hardwork Cheers!
