perf stat: Improve runtime stat for interval mode
For interval mode, the metric is printed after the '#' character if it
exists. But it's not calculated by the counts generated in this
interval.
See the following examples:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000422803 764,809 inst_retired.any # 2.9 CPI
1.000422803 2,234,932 cycles
2.001464585 1,960,061 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001464585 4,022,591 cycles
The second CPI should not be 1.6 (4,022,591/1,960,061 is 2.1)
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000429493 2,869,311 cycles
1.000429493 816,875 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001516426 9,260,973 cycles
2.001516426 5,250,634 instructions # 0.87 insn per cycle
The second 'insn per cycle' should not be 0.87 (5,250,634/9,260,973 is
0.57).
The current code uses a global variable 'rt_stat' for tracking and
updating the std dev of runtime stat. Unlike the counts, 'rt_stat' is not
reset for interval. While the counts are reset for interval.
perf_stat_process_counter()
{
if (config->interval)
init_stats(ps->res_stats);
}
So for interval mode, the 'rt_stat' variable should be reset too.
This patch resets 'rt_stat' before read_counters(), so the runtime stat
is only calculated by the counts generated in this interval.
With this patch:
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -M CPI -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000420924 2,408,818 inst_retired.any # 2.1 CPI
1.000420924 5,010,111 cycles
2.001448579 2,798,407 inst_retired.any # 1.6 CPI
2.001448579 4,599,861 cycles
root@kbl-ppc:~# perf stat -e cycles,instructions -I1000 --interval-count 2
# time counts unit events
1.000428555 2,769,714 cycles
1.000428555 774,462 instructions # 0.28 insn per cycle
2.001471562 3,595,904 cycles
2.001471562 1,243,703 instructions # 0.35 insn per cycle
Now the second 'insn per cycle' and CPI are calculated by the counts
generated in this interval.
