But preferably one that is less than:
[root@zoo ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
25000
[root@zoo ~]#
That is the reason why this test is failing on this Ivy Bridge notebook:
[root@zoo ~]# dmesg | grep perf_event_max_sample_rate
[ 4068.969761] perf samples too long (2552 > 2500), lowering
kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
[ 4069.842176] perf samples too long (5039 > 5000), lowering
kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
[root@zoo ~]#
Look at kernel/events/core.c.
So keeping it at 4k may not be a bad idea, or at least have code that reads
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate if using the highest freq is
desired.
