[PATCH] perf stat: Fix event grouping on forked task

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Feb 13 2012 - 20:04:05 EST


When event group is enabled for forked task (i.e. no target task was
specified) all events were disabled and marked ->enable_on_exec.
However they are not counted at all since only group leader will be
enabled on exec actually. So the result looked like below:

$ ./perf stat --group -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

0.554926 task-clock # 0.001 CPUs utilized
<not counted> context-switches
<not counted> CPU-migrations
<not counted> page-faults
<not counted> cycles
<not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend
<not supported> stalled-cycles-backend
<not counted> instructions
<not counted> branches
<not counted> branch-misses

1.001228093 seconds time elapsed

Fix it by disabling group leader only.
