Currently, the timerlat's hrtimer is initialized at the first read of timerlat_fd, and destroyed at close(). It works, but it causes an error if the user program open() and close() the file without reading.
Here's an example:
# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/options # echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# cat <<EOF > ./timerlat_load.py # !/usr/bin/env python3
timerlat_fd = open("/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu0/timerlat_fd", 'r') timerlat_fd.close(); EOF
# ./taskset -c 0 ./timerlat_load.py <BOOM>

Move hrtimer_init to timerlat_fd open() to avoid this problem.
