I pulled this into my current git tree just for testing.

It's horribly broken, but it's not the annotation that is broken.

The whole "-e cycles:pp" doesn't work any more. I don't get any nice
PEBS information, I get the totally useless irq-based profiling.

The difference for a "make -j" profile is quite stunning:

Doing "perf record -f -e cycles:pp -F 20000 make -j"

- my current git:

[ perf record: Woken up 47 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 11.890 MB perf.data (~519462 samples) ]

- with the above tree pulled into my current git tree (but compiling
the same old tree):

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (~1375 samples) ]

and not suprisingly, the resulting profiles are crap due to lack of
reasonable sample coverage.

I don't think this has anything to do with your changes, but I thought
I'd report it anyway. Something in 'perf' land is broken.
