[PATCH 1/3] perf stat: Fix misleading message when specifying cpu list or system wide

[David Ahern]

perf-stat displays the command run in its summary output which is misleading
when using a cpu list or system wide collection.

You can use perf_target__none() for this.

Btw I found a bug in setting child_pid (which introduced by me ;) during
this review.  Will send a fix.

Cool patch, applying to acme/perf/core.

While trying it noticed this, that should also be fixed
eventually:

[root@zoo ~]# perf stat -c C 0
C: No such file or directory

 Performance counter stats for 'C 0':

     <not counted> task-clock              
     <not counted> context-switches        
     <not counted> cpu-migrations

Btw., would anyone be interested in adding CPU and node binding options to 
perf stat?

There's code to do something like that in tools/perf/bench/numa.c:

        /* Special option string parsing callbacks: */
        OPT_CALLBACK('C', "cpus", NULL, "cpu[,cpu2,...cpuN]",
                        "bind the first N tasks to these specific cpus (the rest is unbound)",
                        parse_cpus_opt),
        OPT_CALLBACK('M', "memnodes", NULL, "node[,node2,...nodeN]",
                        "bind the first N tasks to these specific memory nodes (the rest is unbound)",
                        parse_nodes_opt),

Thanks,

	Ingo

As a convenience to using:

	taskset -c cpu-list perf stat -C cpu-list workload

?

you are missing '-' before the C:  perf stat -C 0. The -C = cpus. -c for 
stat is scale.

Nah, I mean:

[acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat non-existent-proggie
non-existent-proggie: No such file or directory

 Performance counter stats for 'non-existent-proggie':

[acme@zoo linux]$

Why should we report all those counters for something that wasn't found
in PATH?

We either report just the first line, with the errno, or that and the
last, with how long it took to try to execute it, but that probably
shouldn't be printed, as it is supposed to be how long the workload ran,
right?

ok. so this is a different error. need to detect the workload does not 
exist.

Right. need to feed/detect the exec failure back to the parent.

[PATCH 3/3] perf stat: Add units to nanosec-based counters

[David Ahern]

Ingo pointed out that the task-clock counter should have the units explicitly
stated since it is not a counter.

Before:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

      16186.874834 task-clock          #   16.154 CPUs utilized
...

After:

perf stat -a -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

      16146.402138 task-clock (msec)   #   16.125 CPUs utilized
...
