perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets
Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But
it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep
N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing
to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.
Before:
# perf stat -a sleep 0.1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
403.038603 task-clock (msec) # 4.001 CPUs utilized
150 context-switches # 0.372 K/sec
7 cpu-migrations # 0.017 K/sec
71 page-faults # 0.176 K/sec
23,705,169 cycles # 0.059 GHz
15,888,166 instructions # 0.67 insn per cycle
3,326,078 branches # 8.253 M/sec
87,643 branch-misses # 2.64% of all branches
0.100737009 seconds time elapsed
#
After:
# perf stat -a sleep 0.1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
404.271182 cpu-clock (msec) # 4.000 CPUs utilized
143 context-switches # 0.354 K/sec
13 cpu-migrations # 0.032 K/sec
73 page-faults # 0.181 K/sec
22,119,220 cycles # 0.055 GHz
13,622,065 instructions # 0.62 insn per cycle
2,918,769 branches # 7.220 M/sec
85,033 branch-misses # 2.91% of all branches
0.101073089 seconds time elapsed
