      perf_counter: Sleep before refresh using poll in perf top · 0f5486b5
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      perf top is refreshed every delay_secs the thread runs in such
      loop:
      
      while (sleep(delay_secs)) {
      	print_sym_table();
      }
      
      At the end of print_sym_table(), poll is used without sleep delay
      to check if we have something from stdin.
      
      It means that this check is done only every delay_secs, which can
      be higher that 2 secs if the user defined a custom refresh rate.
      
      We can drop sleep() here and directly use poll to wait between
      refresh periods, so that the reaction after the user stops perf top
      after typing "Enter" is immediate and doesn't suffer from the
      delay_secs latency.
      
      Nb: poll doesn't add any overhead that can parasite perf top measures
      since it sleeps the entire timeout here.

       - when we are unable to handle an mmap event, dont assume the event

      Commit b23f3325 ("perf_counter: Rename various fields") fixed up
      most of the uses of the renamed fields, but missed one instance
      of "record_type" in powerpc-specific code which needs to be changed
      to "sample_type", and a "PERF_RECORD_ADDR" in the same statement that
      needs to be changed to "PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR", causing compilation
      errors on powerpc.  This fixes it.
