perf stat: Enable counters when collecting process-wide or system-wide data
Command 'perf stat' doesn't enable counters when collecting an
existing (by -p) process or system-wide statistics. Fix the
issue.
Change the condition of fork/exec subcommand. If there is a
subcommand parameter, perf always forks/execs it. The usage
example is:
# perf stat -a sleep 10
So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
capability, user could only use CTRL+C to stop it without
precise time clock.
Another issue is 'perf stat -a' consumes 100% time of a full
single logical cpu. It has a bad impact on running workload.
Fix it by adding a sleep(1) in the while(!done) loop in function
run_perf_stat.
