The rtla hist hist mode displays a histogram of each tracer event
occurrence, both for IRQ and timer latencies. The tool also allows
many configurations of the timerlat tracer and the collection of
the tracer output.

Here is one example of the rtla timerlat hist mode output:
  ---------- %< ----------
