However function perf_event_account_interrupt() has checks to avoid being flooded with interrupts (more then 1000 samples are received per task_tick). Samples are then dropped and a PERF_RECORD_THROTTLED is added to the perf data. The perf subsystem limit calculation is: maximum sample frequency := 100000 --> 1 samples per 10 us task_tick = 10ms = 10000us --> 1000 samples per task_tick The work flow is measurement_alert() uses SDBT head and each SBDT points to 511 SDB pages, each with 126 sample entries. After processing 8 SBDs and for each valid sample calling: perf_event_overflow() perf_event_account_interrupts() there is a considerable amount of samples being dropped, especially when the sample frequency is very high and near the 100000 limit. To avoid the high amount of samples being dropped near the end of a task_tick time frame, increment the sampling interval in case of dropped events. The CPU Measurement sampling facility on the s390 supports only intervals, specifiing how many CPU cycles have to be executed before a sample is generated. Increase the interval when the samples being generated hit the task_tick limit.
