[PATCH 3/3] perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri May 13 2016 - 02:01:29 EST


Currently perf stat always counts task-clock event by default. But it's
somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep N' as
the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing to
cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.
