[PATCH v4 2/2] perf: add sysfs entry to adjust multiplexing interval per PMU

From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Mon Feb 18 2013 - 12:55:32 EST


This patch adds /sys/device/xxx/perf_event_mux_interval_ms to ajust the
multiplexing interval per PMU. The unit is milliseconds. Value
has to be >= 1.

In the 4th version, we renamed the sysfs file to be more
consistent with the other /proc/sys/kernel entries for
perf_events.
