The IRQ delay was caused by the +*bash-109109* process that disabled IRQs in the wake-up path +(*_try_to_wake_up()* function). The duration of the IRQ handler that woke +up the timerlat thread, informed with the **osnoise:irq_noise** event, was +also high and added more *12553 ns* to the Thread latency. Finally, the +**osnoise:thread_noise** added by the currently running thread (including +the scheduling overhead) added more *4769 ns*. Summing up these values, +the *Thread* timer latency accounted for *30328 ns*. + +The primary reason for this high value is the wake-up path that was hit +twice during this case: when the *bash-109109* was waking up a thread +and then when the *timerlat* thread was awakened. This information can +then be used as the starting point of a more fine-grained analysis. + +Note that **rtla timerlat** was dispatched without changing *timerlat* tracer +threads' priority. That is generally not needed because these threads hava +priority *FIFO:95* by default, which is a common priority used by real-time +kernel developers to analyze scheduling delays. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +**rtla-timerlat**\(1), **rtla-timerlat-hist**\(1) + +*timerlat* tracer documentation: + +AUTHOR +------ +Written by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira + +.. include:: common_appendix.rst -- 2.31.1
