Subject: [PATCH] tools/rtla: Do not stop user-space if a cpu is offline
Date:   Fri, 15 Sep 2023 15:02:32 +0200

If no CPU list is passed, timerlat in user-space will dispatch
one thread per sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF). However, not all
CPU might be available, for instance, if HT is disabled.

Currently, rtla timerlat is stopping the session if an user-space
thread cannot set affinity to a CPU, or if a running user-space
thread is killed. However, this is too restrictive.

So, reduce the error to a debug message, and rtla timerlat run as
long as there is at least one user-space thread alive.

Fixes: cdca4f4e5e8e ("rtla/timerlat_top: Add timerlat user-space support")
