From 239849dde350c9f7356974ca4f62171f50a2c86e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 16:51:58 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf tests: No need to set attr.sample_freq for tracking !PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate below that.
