From c458fe62ca31496664c1211a7906d261220b18f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ramkumar Ramachandra Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:43:05 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Don't print bogus data on -e cycles When only the cycles event is requested: $ perf stat -e cycles dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 512000000 bytes (512 MB) copied, 0.26123 s, 2.0 GB/s Performance counter stats for 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000': 911,626,453 cycles # 0.000 GHz 0.262113350 seconds time elapsed The 0.000 GHz comment in the output is totally bogus and misleading. It happens because update_shadow_stats() doesn't touch runtime_nsecs_stats; it is only written when a requested counter matches a SW_TASK_CLOCK. In our case, since we have only requested HW_CPU_CYCLES, runtime_nsecs_stats is unavailable. So, omit printing the comment altogether.
