Subject: perf top: losing events?
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:42:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264052528.26323.13.camel@marge.simson.net> (raw)

Greetings Arnaldo,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:     670 irqs/sec  kernel:14.6% [1000Hz cycles],  (all, cpu: 3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

             _______ _____ ___________________ ________________________________________________________________

            12535.00 82.1% main                /root/bin/pert

              168.00  1.1% page_fault          [kernel.kallsyms]
              138.00  0.9% yylex               /usr/local/src/kernel/linux-2.6.33.git/scripts/genksyms/genksyms

              117.00  0.8% copy_page_c         [kernel.kallsyms]

If only 100% userland hog (pert) is running, I see the expected 1KHz
irqs/sec.  As soon as I start a kbuild with it, irqs/sec drops, though
NMIs are indeed happening at 1KHz.

Bisection points to 5b2bb75 perf top: Support userspace symbols too.
