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.
