    perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test · 5243ba76
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
    auto-tuned:
    
      # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
      [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
      [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
    
    Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
    by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
    it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:
    
      # perf test -v 21 2>&1  | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
      Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
      Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
      Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
      Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
      Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
      [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
      40 /tmp/out
      [root@jouet ~]#
    
    For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
    user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
    bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
