perf test: Fix test_arm_coresight.sh failures on Juno
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This test commonly fails on Arm Juno because the instruction interval
is large enough to miss generating any samples for Perf in system-wide
mode.

Fix this by lowering the interval until a comfortable number of Perf
instructions are generated. The test is still quick to run because only
a small amount of trace is gathered.

Before:

  sudo ./perf test coresight -vvv
  ...
  Recording trace with system wide mode
