rtla: Parse cmdline using libsubcmd
Instead of using getopt_long() directly to parse the command line
arguments given to an RTLA tool, use libsubcmd's parse_options().
Utilizing libsubcmd for parsing command line arguments has several
benefits:
- A help message is automatically generated by libsubcmd from the
specification, removing the need of writing it by hand.
- Options are sorted into groups based on which part of tracing (CPU,
thread, auto-analysis, tuning, histogram) they relate to.
- Common parsing patterns for numerical and boolean values now share
code, with the target variable being stored in the option array.
To avoid duplication of the option parsing logic, RTLA-specific
macros defining struct option values are created:
- RTLA_OPT_* for options common to all tools
- OSNOISE_OPT_* and TIMERLAT_OPT_* for options specific to
osnoise/timerlat tools
- HIST_OPT_* macros for options specific to histogram-based tools.
Individual *_parse_args() functions then construct an array out of
these macros that is then passed to libsubcmd's parse_options().
All code specific to command line options parsing is moved out of the
individual tool files into a new file, cli.c, which also contains the
contents of the rtla.c file. A private header, cli_p.h, is added
alongside the public header cli.h, so that unit tests are able to test
statically declared option callbacks.
Minor changes:
- The return value of tool-level help option changes to 129, as this is
the value set by libsubcmd; this is reflected in affected test cases.
The implementation of help for command-level and tracer-level help
is set to 129 as well for consistency, and the change is reflected in
exit value documentation.
- Related to the above, {rtla,osnoise,timerlat}_usage() are marked
__noreturn and exit() is removed from after they are called for
cleaner code.
- The error messages for invalid argument for options --dma-latency and
-E/--entries were corrected, fixing off-by-one in the limits.
Note that unsetting options (using --no-<opt> syntax) is currently not
implemented for options that use custom callbacks. For --irq and
--thread, it will never be implemented, as they conflict with already
existing --no-irq and --no-thread with a different meaning.
