sample_summary_print() uses accumulated period to calculate and display per-sec averages. This period gets incremented by sampling interval each time a new sample is formed, and thus equals to the number of samples collected multiplied by this interval. However, the totals are being calculated differently, they receive current sample statistics already divided by the interval gotten as a difference between sample timestamps for better precision -- in other words, they are being incremented by the per-sec values each sample. This leads to the excessive division of summary per-secs when interval != 1 sec. It is obvious pps couldn't become two times lower just from picking a different sampling interval value: $ samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu -p xdp_prognum_n1_inverse_qnum -c all -s -d 6 -i 1 < snip > Packets received : 2,197,230,321 Average packets/s : 22,887,816 Packets redirected : 2,197,230,472 Average redir/s : 22,887,817 $ samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu -p xdp_prognum_n1_inverse_qnum -c all -s -d 6 -i 2 < snip > Packets received : 159,566,498 Average packets/s : 11,397,607 Packets redirected : 159,566,995 Average redir/s : 11,397,642 This can be easily fixed by treating the divisor not as a period, but rather as a total number of samples, and thus incrementing it by 1 instead of interval. As a nice side effect, we can now remove so-named argument from a couple of functions. Let us also create an "alias" for sample_output::rx_cnt::pps named 'num' using a union since this field is used to store this number (period previously) as well, and the resulting counter-intuitive code might've been a reason for this bug.
