Tried torvalds/master, no problem, looking at what the top's screen refresh thread does we can see:
[root@ssdandy ~]# trace -t 3562 -e \!write 0.000 ( 0.000 ms): ... [continued]: poll()) = 0 Timeout 2031.522 (2002.480 ms): poll(ufds: 0x7fbb91596bb0, nfds: 1, timeout_msecs: 2000 ) = 0 Timeout 4064.346 (2002.456 ms): poll(ufds: 0x7fbb91596bb0, nfds: 1, timeout_msecs: 2000 ) = 0 Timeout ^C[root@ssdandy ~]#
I.e. waiting the default of:
.delay_secs = 2,
2 seconds between refreshes.
Checking out tip.tip, or are you suggesting to try an old perf binary, from 3.11 or 3.10 on top of a newer kernel?
