The "workload" is small so a higher sampling rate is preferable. But preferably one that is less than: [root@zoo ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 25000 [root@zoo ~]# That is the reason why this test is failing on this Ivy Bridge notebook: [root@zoo ~]# dmesg | grep perf_event_max_sample_rate [ 4068.969761] perf samples too long (2552 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000 [ 4069.842176] perf samples too long (5039 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000 [root@zoo ~]# Look at kernel/events/core.c. So keeping it at 4k may not be a bad idea, or at least have code that reads /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate if using the highest freq is desired. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
