[PATCH] perf: fix counting when initial delay configured

From: Changbin Du
Date: Thu Feb 23 2023 - 05:06:47 EST


When creating counters with initial delay configured, the enable_on_exec
field is not set. So we need to enable the counters later. The problem
is, when a workload is specified the target__none() is still true. So
we also need to check stat_config.initial_delay.

Before this fix the event is not counted:
$ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2
Events disabled
Events enabled

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2':

<not counted> instructions

1.901661124 seconds time elapsed

0.001602000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

After fix it works:
$ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2
Events disabled
Events enabled

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2':

404,214 instructions

1.901743475 seconds time elapsed

0.001617000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
