perf stat: Fix counting when initial delay configured
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 25f69c6 ]

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 true. So we also
need to check stat_config.initial_delay.

In this change, we add a new field 'initial_delay' for struct target
which could be shared by other subcommands. And define
target__enable_on_exec() which returns whether enable_on_exec should be
set on normal cases.

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
