Hello,
The following patches prevent Linux 6.6.78+ rtla to build:
- "rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads" (stable commit 41955b6c268154f81e34f9b61cf8156eec0730c0) - "rtla/timerlat_hist: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads" (stable commit 83b74901bdc9b58739193b8ee6989254391b6ba7)
Both were added to Linux 6.6.78 based on the Fixes tag in the upstream commits.
These patches prevent 6.6.78 rta to build with a similar error (missing kernel_workload in the params struct) src/timerlat_top.c:687:52: error: ‘struct timerlat_top_params’ has no member named ‘kernel_workload’
These patches appear to depend on "rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads the default" commit fb9e90a67ee9a42779a8ea296a4cf7734258b27d which is not present in 6.6.
I am not sure if it's better to revert them or pick up fb9e90a67ee9a42779a8ea296a4cf7734258b27d in 6.6. Tomas, what do you think?
HTH,
Guillaume.

I did not realize that, sorry!
We don't want to pick up fb9e90a67ee9a42779a8ea296a4cf7734258b27d (rtla/timerlat: Make user-space threads the default) to stable, since it changes the default behavior as well as output of rtla.
The patches can be fixed by by substituting params->kernel_workload for !params->user_hist (!params->user_top) for the version of the files that is present in 6.6-stable (6.1-stable is not affected, since it doesn't have user workload mode at all).
I'm not sure what the correct procedure would be. One way I can think of is reverting the patch as broken, and me sending an alternate version of the patch for 6.6-stable containing the change above. That would be the cleanest way in my opinion (as compared to sending the fixup directly).
