Pull tracing tool updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Specific for timerlat:

   - Improve the output of timerlat top by adding a missing \n, and by
     avoiding printing color-formatting characters where they are
     translated to regular characters.

   - Improve timerlat auto-analysis output by replacing '\t' with spaces
     to avoid copy-and-paste issues when reporting problems.

   - Make the user-space (-u) option the default, as it is the most
     complete test. Add a -k option to use the in-kernel workload.

   - On timerlat top and hist, add a summary with the overall results.
     For instance, the minimum value for all CPUs, the overall average
     and the maximum value from all CPUs.

   - timerlat hist was printing initial values (i.e., 0 as max, and ~0
     as min) if the trace stopped before the first Ret-User event. This
     problem was fixed by printing the " - " no value string to the
     output if that was the case.

  For all RTLA tools:

   - Add a --warm-up <seconds> option, allowing the workload to run for
     <seconds> before starting to collect results.

   - Add a --trace-buffer-size option, allowing the user to set the
     tracing buffer size for -t option. This option is mainly useful for
     reducing the trace file. Now rtla depends on libtracefs >= 1.6.

   - Fix the -t [trace_file] parsing, now it does not require the '='
     before the option parameter, and better handles the multiple ways a
     user can pass the trace_file.txt"
