perf stat: Fix --no-scale
The -c option to enable multiplex scaling has been useless for quite some time because scaling is default. It's only useful as --no-scale to disable scaling. But the non scaling code path has bitrotted and doesn't print anything because perf output code relies on value run/ena information. Also even when we don't want to scale a value it's still useful to show its multiplex percentage. This patch: - Fixes help and documentation to show --no-scale instead of -c - Removes -c, only keeps the long option because -c doesn't support negatives. - Enables running/enabled even with --no-scale - And fixes some other problems in the no-scale output. Before: $ perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': <not counted> cycles 0.000984154 seconds time elapsed After: $ ./perf stat --no-scale -e cycles true Performance counter stats for 'true': 706,070 cycles 0.001219821 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> LPU-Reference: 20190314225002.30108-9-andi@firstfloor.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-xggjvwcdaj2aqy8ib3i4b1g6@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
