Hi Xiaolong,

Is there a way I can get the output of "perf record -a -g" running in
parallel to the actual test on this machine. As I have mentioned
before I am not able to reproduce this issue. However I am trying to
repro on a VM with 4 vcpus and 4 GiB memory and I don't see any
difference. I am suspecting that it may repro on a larger machine but
I don't have access to one.

thanks,
Shakeel
