There's an existing bug here that I tried to resolve in this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAP-5=fVRdqvswtyQMg5cB+ntTGda+SAYskjTQednEH-AeZo13g@mail.gmail.com/
Due to multiplexing, enabled may be > 0 but run == 0 and the divide
below can end up with divide by zero.

I like the idea of this code being in a library, there's an intent
that the perf_event.h and test code be copy-paste-able, but there is
some pre-existing divergence. It would be nice if this code could be
closer to the sample code in both the test and perf_event.h.

As per the change above, I think running and enabled times need to be
out arguments.

Thanks,
Ian
