Annotated Snippet

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 system 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.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
