perf stat: Do not print ratio when task-clock event is not counted
The ratio between the number of events and the time elapsed makes sense only if task-clock event is counted. Otherwise it will be simply a (confusing) # 0.000 M/sec This patch outputs the ratio only if task-clock event is counted. Some test examples of before and after: Before: [lucas@skywalker linux.trees.git]$ sudo perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1367818 branch-misses # 0.000 M/sec 1.001494325 seconds time elapsed After (without task-clock): [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1135044 branch-misses 1.001370775 seconds time elapsed After (with task-clock): [lucas@skywalker perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -e branch-misses -e task-clock -a -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 1070111 branch-misses # 0.534 M/sec 2002.730893 task-clock-msecs # 1.999 CPUs 1.001640292 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20091115140507.GB21561@skywalker.lan> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
