+The **rtla osnoise** tool is an interface for the *osnoise* tracer. The
+*osnoise* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the
+time in a loop while with preemption, softirq and IRQs enabled, thus
+allowing all the sources of operating systme noise during its execution.
+The *osnoise*'s tracer threads take note of the delta between each time
+read, along with an interference counter of all sources of interference.
+At the end of each period, the *osnoise* tracer displays a summary of
+the results.

+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla osnoise** [*MODE*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+.. include:: common_osnoise_description.rst
+
+The *osnoise* tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically prints
+a summary of the noise of the operating system, including the counters of
+the occurrence of the source of interference. It also provides information
+for each noise via the **osnoise:** tracepoints. The **rtla osnoise top**
+mode displays information about the periodic summary from the *osnoise* tracer.
+The **rtla osnoise hist** mode displays information about the noise using
+the **osnoise:** tracepoints. For further details, please refer to the
+respective man page.
+
+MODES
+=====
+**top**
+
+        Prints the summary from osnoise tracer.
+
+**hist**
+
+        Prints a histogram of osnoise samples.
+
+If no MODE is given, the top mode is called, passing the arguments.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+        Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding mode.
