If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f296cb60413351f9948d96a2466600bc5b5cdbbb Author: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri May 13 08:45:53 2022 +0200 rtla: Remove procps-ng dependency [ Upstream commit dada03db9bb1984826e61cfcf1418ac73848324d ] Daniel Wagner reported to me that readproc.h got deprecated. Also, while the procps-ng library was available on Fedora, it was not available on RHEL, which is a piece of evidence that it was not that used. rtla uses procps-ng only to find the PID of the tracers' workload. I used the procps-ng library to avoid reinventing the wheel. But in this case, reinventing the wheel took me less time than the time we already took trying to work around problems. Implement a function that reads /proc/ entries, checking if: - the entry is a directory - the directory name is composed only of digits (PID) - the directory contains the comm file - the comm file contains a comm that matches the tracers' workload prefix. - then return true; otherwise, return false. And use it instead of procps-ng.
