I wouldn't mind having my cycle counters back in the api ;)
They just seem to be easier for me to work with in userspace.

Or do you mean if we can just redefine the existing sampler?

The crucial part is that we don't define the period, the user does.

Heh, once again we have two different ideas about what we want to
measure :) I'ld take cycles, with your suggestion we may as well do
instantaneous frequency and sample from within perf_event_read (no
averaging, or just a short ewma)?
