In perf_adjust_period, we will first calculate period, and then use
this period to calculate delta. However, when delta is less than 0,
there will be a deviation compared to when delta is greater than or
equal to 0. For example, when delta is in the range of [-14,-1], the
range of delta = delta + 7 is between [-7,6], so the final value of
delta/8 is 0. Therefore, the impact of -1 and -2 will be ignored.
This is unacceptable when the target period is very short, because
we will lose a lot of samples.
Here are some tests and analyzes:
before:
# perf record -e cs -F 1000 ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data (518 samples) ]
# perf script
...

a.out 396 257.970593: 23 cs: ffffffff81f4eeec schedul>
...
after:
# perf record -e cs -F 1000 ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.058 MB perf.data (1466 samples) ]
# perf script
...

a.out 395 59.346502: 13 cs: ffffffff81f4eeec schedul>
...
test.c
int main() {
for (int i = 0; i < 20000; i++)
usleep(10);
return 0;
}
# time ./a.out
real 0m1.583s
user 0m0.040s
sys 0m0.298s
The above results were tested on x86-64 qemu with KVM enabled using
test.c as test program. Ideally, we should have around 1500 samples,
but the previous algorithm had only about 500, whereas the modified
algorithm now has about 1400. Further more, the new version shows 1
sample per 0.001s, while the previous one is 1 sample per 0.002s.This
indicates that the new algorithm is more sensitive to small negative
values compared to old algorithm.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
