perf tools: Check maximum frequency rate for record/top
Adding the check for maximum allowed frequency rate defined in following
file:
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
When we cross the maximum value we fail and display detailed error
message with advise.
$ perf record -F 3000 ls
Maximum frequency rate (2000) reached.
Please use -F freq option with lower value or consider
tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
In case user does not specify the frequency and the default value cross
the maximum, we display warning and set the frequency value to the
current maximum.
$ perf record ls
Lowering default frequency rate to 2000.
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
Same messages are used for 'perf top'.
