Re: perf_event self-monitoring overhead regression

[Vince Weaver]

Here are the complete results, using official kernels.

   http://web.eecs.utk.edu/~vweaver1/projects/perf-events/benchmarks/rdtsc_overhead/

The overall overhead start/stop/read has been getting worse.  3.1.0 was 
bad and the current 3.2.0-rc4-tip tree is even worse.

I'm not sure if it's worth trying to track down the changes that cause 
these regressions, as they might still be considered just noise, though 
the best to worst performance degredation is ~ 15% when attempting to 
self-monitor with 3 events on a core2 machine.
