Backport Timerlat UserSpace and Cgroup Support

Chris White requested to merge chwhite1/centos-stream-9:rtla-support-kernel into main

JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-14932

Commit List:

Description: This merge request backports the necessary kernel modifications to introduce user-space and cgroup support for the rtla user-space tool. These changes align the rtla kernel base with version v6.4, enabling more robust and versatile performance analysis and monitoring.

Key Enhancements:

  • A user-space interface for the timerlat tracer is now available, allowing for the rtla tool to also measure latency introduced by userspace.
  • Add a cgroup interface to migrate the kthreads to the same cgroup as the userspace tool.

Please review the individual commits for detailed information on the changes and their impact.
