perf top: losing events?

[Mike Galbraith]

Greetings Arnaldo,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PerfTop:     670 irqs/sec  kernel:14.6% [1000Hz cycles],  (all, cpu: 3)

             samples  pcnt function            DSO
             _______ _____ ___________________ ________________________________________________________________

            12535.00 82.1% main                /root/bin/pert
              302.00  2.0% clear_page_c        [kernel.kallsyms]
              169.00  1.1% _int_malloc         /lib64/libc-2.9.so
              168.00  1.1% page_fault          [kernel.kallsyms]
              138.00  0.9% yylex               /usr/local/src/kernel/linux-2.6.33.git/scripts/genksyms/genksyms
              121.00  0.8% __GI_memset         /lib64/libc-2.9.so
              117.00  0.8% copy_page_c         [kernel.kallsyms]
               96.00  0.6% _raw_spin_lock      [kernel.kallsyms]
               79.00  0.5% use_config          /usr/local/src/kernel/linux-2.6.33.git/scripts/basic/fixdep

If only 100% userland hog (pert) is running, I see the expected 1KHz
irqs/sec.  As soon as I start a kbuild with it, irqs/sec drops, though
NMIs are indeed happening at 1KHz.

Bisection points to 5b2bb75 perf top: Support userspace symbols too.
