Subject[PATCH v2] perf stat: fix per-pkg event reporting bug
Date
Per-pkg events need to be captured once per processor
socket. The code in check_per_pkg() ensures only one
value per processor package is used. However there is
a problem with this function in case the first CPU of
the package does not measure anything for the per-pkg event,
but other CPUs do.

Consider the following

$ create cgroup FOO; echo $$ >FOO/tasks; taskset -c 1 noploop &
$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ -G FOO sleep 100
1.00000 <not counted> Bytes intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ FOO

The reason for this is that CPU0 in the cgrop has nothing running on it.
Yet check_per_plg() will mark socket0 as processed and no other event
value will be considered for the socket.

This patch fixes the problem by having check_per_pkg() only consider
events which actually ran.
