Pull rtla fixes from Daniel Bristot de Oliveira: "rtla (Real-Time Linux Analysis) tool fixes. Timerlat auto-analysis: - Timerlat is reporting thread interference time without thread noise events occurrence. It was caused because the thread interference variable was not reset after the analysis of a timerlat activation that did not hit the threshold. - The IRQ handler delay is estimated from the delta of the IRQ latency reported by timerlat, and the timestamp from IRQ handler start event. If the delta is near-zero, the drift from the external clock and the trace event and/or the overhead can cause the value to be negative. If the value is negative, print a zero-delay. - IRQ handlers happening after the timerlat thread event but before the stop tracing were being reported as IRQ that happened before the *current* IRQ occurrence. Ignore Previous IRQ noise in this condition because they are valid only for the *next* timerlat activation. Timerlat user-space: - Timerlat is stopping all user-space thread if a CPU becomes offline. Do not stop the entire tool if a CPU is/become offline, but only the thread of the unavailable CPU. Stop the tool only, if all threads leave because the CPUs become/are offline. man-pages: - Fix command line example in timerlat hist man page" * tag 'rtla-v6.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bristot/linux: rtla: fix a example in rtla-timerlat-hist.rst rtla/timerlat: Do not stop user-space if a cpu is offline rtla/timerlat_aa: Fix previous IRQ delay for IRQs that happens after thread sample rtla/timerlat_aa: Fix negative IRQ delay rtla/timerlat_aa: Zero thread sum after every sample analysis

In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
-*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *10us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
+*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *100us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled
