Subject: [PATCH 32/59] perf tests: No need to set attr.sample_freq in the perf time to TSC test
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>
We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly
when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
below that.
In this test we only look at the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME fields in PERF_RECORD_
meta events, no need to set sample_freq.
Thanks to Namhyung for suggesting that max_sample_rate could be the
reason for the test failure, seeing the 'perf test -vv' output I sent.
Before:
# echo 1000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
# perf test TSC
45: Test converting perf time to TSC : FAILED!
After:
# perf test TSC
45: Test converting perf time to TSC : Ok
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
1000
