From 4502d77c1d8f15f20c04b92cb96c12d4e465de29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:03:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter tools: Small frequency related fixes Create the counter in a disabled state and only enable it after we mmap() the buffer, this allows us to see the first few samples (and observe the frequency ramp). Furthermore, print the period in the verbose report.
