From 8cc42de736b617827a4e7664fb8d7a325bc125bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kan Liang Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:26:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf top: Check the latency of perf_top__mmap_read() The latency of perf_top__mmap_read() should be lower than refresh time. If not, give some hints to reduce the latency.
