[GIT PULL] tracing tools: Updates for v6.17

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

tracing tools changes for 6.17:

- Introduce enum timerlat_tracing_mode

  Now that BPF based sampling has been added to timerlat, add an enum to
  represent which mode timerlat is running in.

- Add action on timelat threshold feature

  A new option, --on-threshold, is added, taking an argument
  that further specifies the action. Actions added in this patch are:

  - trace[,file=<filename>]: Saves tracefs buffer, optionally taking a
          filename.
  - signal,num=<sig>,pid=<pid>: Sends signal to process. "parent" might
          be specified instead of number to send signal to parent process.
  - shell,command=<command>: Execute shell command.

- Allow resuming tracing in timerlat bpf

  rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a .bss section to
  store whether tracing has been stopped. Map it to allow it to resume tracing
  after it has been stopped.

- Add continue action to timerlat

  Introduce option to resume tracing after a latency threshold overflow.  The
  option is implemented as an action named "continue".

- Add action on end feature to timerlat

  Implement actions on end next to actions on threshold. A new option,
  --on-end is added, parallel to --on-threshold. Instead of being executed
  whenever a latency threshold is reached, it is executed at the end of the
  measurement.

- Have rtla tests check output with grep

  Add argument to the check command in the test suite that takes a regular
  expression that the output of rtla command is checked against. This allows
  testing for specific information in rtla output in addition to checking the
  return value.

- Add tests for timerlat actions

- Update the documentation for the new features
