Qing Wang 5b4da569a2 perf/core: Fix broken throttling when max_samples_per_tick=1
[ Upstream commit f51972e6f8b9a737b2b3eb588069acb538fa72de ]

According to the throttling mechanism, the pmu interrupts number can not
exceed the max_samples_per_tick in one tick. But this mechanism is
ineffective when max_samples_per_tick=1, because the throttling check is
skipped during the first interrupt and only performed when the second
interrupt arrives.

Perhaps this bug may cause little influence in one tick, but if in a
larger time scale, the problem can not be underestimated.

When max_samples_per_tick = 1:
Allowed-interrupts-per-second max-samples-per-second  default-HZ  ARCH
200                           100                     100         X86
500                           250                     250         ARM64
...
Obviously, the pmu interrupt number far exceed the user's expect.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
