    perf test: Fix test_arm_coresight.sh failures on Juno · fe180a52
    James Clark authored
    This test commonly fails on Arm Juno because the instruction interval
    is large enough to miss generating any samples for Perf in system-wide
    mode.
    
    Fix this by lowering the interval until a comfortable number of Perf
    instructions are generated. The test is still quick to run because only
    a small amount of trace is gathered.
    
    Before:
    
      sudo ./perf test coresight -vvv
      ...
      Recording trace with system wide mode
