Subject: Re: perf top: losing events?

Yup, definitely a booboo in there somewhere.

Step 1.

oinker running, perf top -C 3 -z


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:    1001 irqs/sec  kernel: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles],  (all, cpu: 3)                                                    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             samples  pcnt func DSO
             _______ _____ ____ ______________

             2003.00 100.0% main /root/bin/pert

perfect (off by one is beauty mark, not wart;)

Step 2.

taskset -c 3 ./massive_intr 3 999


  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  P COMMAND
 7133 root      20   0  7928  232  128 R   25  0.0   0:09.68 3 massive_intr
 7134 root      20   0  7928  232  128 R   25  0.0   0:09.68 3 massive_intr
25932 root      20   0  7920  584  476 R   25  0.0  42:03.07 3 pert
 7132 root      20   0  7928  232  128 R   25  0.0   0:09.68 3 massive_intr

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:     252 irqs/sec  kernel: 0.8% [1000Hz cycles],  (all, cpu: 3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             samples  pcnt func DSO
             _______ _____ ____ ______________

              500.00 99.2% main /root/bin/pert


massive_intr appeared briefly, then poof, gone (likely when it forked
off worker-bees), leaving this.
