				- Introduce enum timerlat_tracing_mode
 
   Now that BPF based sampling has been added to timerlat, add an enum to
   represent which mode timerlat is running in.
 
 - Add action on timelat threshold feature
 
   A new option, --on-threshold, is added, taking an argument
   that further specifies the action. Actions added in this patch are:
 
   - trace[,file=<filename>]: Saves tracefs buffer, optionally taking a
           filename.
   - signal,num=<sig>,pid=<pid>: Sends signal to process. "parent" might
           be specified instead of number to send signal to parent process.
   - shell,command=<command>: Execute shell command.
 
 - Allow resuming tracing in timerlat bpf
 
   rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a .bss section to
   store whether tracing has been stopped. Map it to allow it to resume tracing
   after it has been stopped.
 
 - Add continue action to timerlat
 
   Introduce option to resume tracing after a latency threshold overflow.  The
   option is implemented as an action named "continue".
 
 - Add action on end feature to timerlat
 
   Implement actions on end next to actions on threshold. A new option,
   --on-end is added, parallel to --on-threshold. Instead of being executed
   whenever a latency threshold is reached, it is executed at the end of the
   measurement.
 
 - Have rtla tests check output with grep
 
   Add argument to the check command in the test suite that takes a regular
   expression that the output of rtla command is checked against. This allows
   testing for specific information in rtla output in addition to checking the
   return value.
 
 - Add tests for timerlat actions
 
 - Update the documentation for the new features
