From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 14:17:35 +0000 (+0100) Subject: perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91a612eea9a3;p=linux-beck.git perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism, both triggered by the same action. When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole dynamic throttle. This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will generate a warning in dmesg. The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on the observed duration.
