In recently introduced timerlat_free(),
the variable 'nr_cpus' is not assigned.
Assign it with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) as done elsewhere.
Remove the culprit: -Wno-maybe-uninitialized. The rest of the
code is clean.

The rtla tools have many instances of iterating over CPUs while
checking if they are monitored.
Add a for_each_monitored_cpu() helper macro to make the code
more readable and reduce code duplication.

Currently a lot of code is duplicated between the different rtla tools,
making maintenance more difficult, and encouraging divergence such as
features that are only implemented for certain tools even though they
could be more broadly applicable.
Merge the various main() functions into a common run_tool() with an ops
struct for tool-specific details.
Implement enough support for actions on osnoise to not need to keep the
old params->trace_output path.

Merge the common bits of osnoise_apply_config() and
timerlat_apply_config(). Put the result in a new common.c, and move
enough things to common.h so that common.c does not need to include
osnoise.h.

timerlat_params and osnoise_params structures contain 15 identical
fields.
Introduce a new header common.h and define a common_params structure to
consolidate shared fields, reduce code duplication, and enhance
maintainability.

After the introduction of BPF-based sample collection, rtla-timerlat
effectively runs in one of three modes:
- Pure BPF mode, with tracefs only being used to set up the timerlat
tracer. Sample processing and stop on threshold are handled by BPF.
- tracefs mode. BPF is unsupported or kernel is lacking the necessary
trace event (osnoise:timerlat_sample). Stop on theshold is handled by
timerlat tracer stopping tracing in all instances.
- BPF/tracefs mixed mode - BPF is used for sample collection for top or
histogram, tracefs is used for trace output and/or auto-analysis. Stop
on threshold is handled both through BPF program, which stops sample
collection for top/histogram and wakes up rtla, and by timerlat
tracer, which stops tracing for trace output/auto-analysis instances.
Add enum timerlat_tracing_mode, with three values:
- TRACING_MODE_BPF
- TRACING_MODE_TRACEFS
- TRACING_MODE_MIXED
Those represent the modes described above. A field of this type is added
to struct timerlat_params, named "mode", replacing the no_bpf variable.
params->mode is set in timerlat_{top,hist}_parse_args to
TRACING_MODE_BPF or TRACING_MODE_MIXED based on whether trace output
and/or auto-analysis is requested. timerlat_{top,hist}_main then checks
if BPF is not unavailable or disabled, in that case, it sets
params->mode to TRACING_MODE_TRACEFS.
A condition is added to timerlat_apply_config that skips setting
timerlat tracer thresholds if params->mode is TRACING_MODE_BPF (those
are unnecessary, since they only turn off tracing, which is already
turned off in that case, since BPF is used to collect samples).

rtla currently only sets tracer options that are explicitly set by the
user, with the exception of OSNOISE_WORKLOAD.
This leads to improper behavior in case rtla is run with those options
not set to the default value. rtla does reset them to the original
value upon exiting, but that does not protect it from starting with
non-default values set either by an improperly exited rtla or by another
user of the tracers.
For example, after running this command:
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/stop_tracing_us
all runs of rtla will stop at the 1us threshold, even if not requested
by the user:
$ rtla osnoise hist
Index CPU-000 CPU-001
1 8 5
2 5 9
3 1 2
4 6 1
5 2 1
6 0 1
8 1 1
12 0 1
14 1 0
15 1 0
over: 0 0
count: 25 21
min: 1 1
avg: 3.68 3.05
max: 15 12
rtla osnoise hit stop tracing
Fix the problem by setting the default value for all tracer options if
the user has not provided their own value.
For most of the options, it's enough to just drop the if clause checking
for the value being set. For cpus, "all" is used as the default value,
and for osnoise default period and runtime, default values of
the osnoise_data variable in trace_osnoise.c are used.

The functions osnoise_top_apply_config and osnoise_hist_apply_config, as
well as timerlat_top_apply_config and timerlat_hist_apply_config, are
mostly the same.
Move common part from them into separate functions osnoise_apply_config
and timerlat_apply_config.
For rtla-timerlat, also unify params->user_hist and params->user_top
into one field called params->user_data, and move several fields used
only by timerlat-top into the top-only section of struct
timerlat_params.

rtla_usage(), osnoise_usage() and timerlat_usage() all exit with an
error status.
However when these are called from help, they should exit with a
non-error status.
Fix this by passing the exit status to the functions.
Note, although we remove the subsequent call to exit after calling
usage, we leave it in at the end of a function to suppress the compiler
warning "control reaches end of a non-void function".

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.

The rtla timerlat tool is an interface for the timerlat tracer.
The timerlat tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads set a
periodic timer to wake themselves up and go back to sleep. After the
wakeup, they collect and generate useful information for the debugging of
operating system timer latency.
The timerlat tracer outputs information in two ways. It periodically
prints the timer latency at the timer IRQ handler and the Thread handler.
It also provides information for each noise via the osnoise tracepoints.
The rtla timerlat top mode displays a summary of the periodic output from
the timerlat tracer.
Here is one example of the rtla timerlat tool output:
---------- %< ----------
[root@alien ~]# rtla timerlat top -c 0-3 -d 1m
Timer Latency
0 00:01:00 | IRQ Timer Latency (us) | Thread Timer Latency (us)
