perf_events may sometimes throttle an event due to creating too many
samples during a given timer tick.
As of now, the perf tool will not report on throttling, which means this
is a silent error.
Implement a callback for the throttle and unthrottle events within the
Python scripting engine, which can allow scripts to detect and report
when events may have been lost due to throttling.
The simplest script to report throttle events is:
def throttle(*args):
print("throttle" + repr(args))
def unthrottle(*args):
print("unthrottle" + repr(args))

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.
