Re: perf stat output

[Lucas De Marchi]

Ingo, following the tested patch you asked. It's a bit different of what you
sent because branch-misses is counted in another struct.

    Do not print ratio when task-clock event is not counted
    
    The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes sense only
    if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be simply a (confusing)
    
    	#      0.000 M/sec
    
    This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted. Some test
    examples of before and after:
    
    Before:
    
    	[lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1
    
    	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
    
    		1367818  branch-misses            #      0.000 M/sec
    
    	    1.001494325  seconds time elapsed
    
    After (without task-clock):
    
    	[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1
    
    	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
    
    		1135044  branch-misses
    
    	    1.001370775  seconds time elapsed
    
    After (with task-clock):
    
    	[lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1
    
    	 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
    
    		1070111  branch-misses            #      0.534 M/sec
    	    2002.730893  task-clock-msecs         #      1.999 CPUs
    
    	    1.001640292  seconds time elapsed
