**-a**, **--auto** *us* Set the automatic trace mode. This mode sets some commonly used options while debugging the system. It is equivalent to use **-T** *us* **-s** *us* **-t**. By default, *timerlat* tracer uses FIFO:95 for *timerlat* threads, thus equilavent to **-P** *f:95*. **-p**, **--period** *us* Set the *timerlat* tracer period in microseconds. **-i**, **--irq** *us* Stop trace if the *IRQ* latency is higher than the argument in us. **-T**, **--thread** *us* Stop trace if the *Thread* latency is higher than the argument in us. **-s**, **--stack** *us* Save the stack trace at the *IRQ* if a *Thread* latency is higher than the argument in us. **--dma-latency** *us* Set the /dev/cpu_dma_latency to *us*, aiming to bound exit from idle latencies. *cyclictest* sets this value to *0* by default, use **--dma-latency** *0* to have similar results.
