Vince Weaver reported: > I was tracking down some regressions in my perf_event_test testsuite. > Some of the tests broke in the 4.11-rc1 timeframe. > > I've bisected one of them, this report is about > tests/overflow/simul_oneshot_group_overflow > This test creates an event group containing two sampling events, set > to overflow to a signal handler (which disables and then refreshes the > event). > > On a good kernel you get the following: > Event perf::instructions with period 1000000 > Event perf::instructions with period 2000000 > fd 3 overflows: 946 (perf::instructions/1000000) > fd 4 overflows: 473 (perf::instructions/2000000) > Ending counts: > Count 0: 946379875 > Count 1: 946365218 > > With the broken kernels you get: > Event perf::instructions with period 1000000 > Event perf::instructions with period 2000000 > fd 3 overflows: 938 (perf::instructions/1000000) > fd 4 overflows: 318 (perf::instructions/2000000) > Ending counts: > Count 0: 946373080 > Count 1: 653373058 The root cause of the bug is that the following commit: |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
