Yep. Good question. That requires explicit explanation:
+ /* aio_suspend() implementation inside glibc (as of v2.27) is
+ * intrusive and not just blocks waiting io requests completion
+ * but polls requests queue inducing context switches in perf
+ * tool process. When profiling in system wide mode with tracing
+ * context switches the trace may be polluted by context
switches
+ * from the perf process and the trace size becomes about 3-5
+ * times bigger than that of when writing the trace serially.
+ * To limit the volume of context switches from perf tool
+ * process nonsleep() call limits aio_suspend()
+ * polling till every half of the kernel timer tick which is
+ * usually 1ms (depends on CONFIG_HZ value).
