Should be better reported, probably with a message suggesting to use:

perf top -r RTPRIO

or to reduce the sampling frequency:

perf top -F 500

to have:

PerfTop: 287 irqs/sec kernel:40.8% exact: 0.0% [500Hz cycles], (all, 2 CPUs)

Instead of the default:

PerfTop: 35 irqs/sec kernel:25.7% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 2 CPUs)
