[PATCH 14/30] perf hists: Clear dummy entry accumulated period

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 - 10:41:55 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

The accumulated period for dummy entry should also be 0. Otherwise, the
total overhead could be overcounted.

$ perf record -e '{LLC-load-misses,cpu/instructions/}' --call-graph=lbr ./tchain
$ perf report --stdio
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 21K of event 'anon group { LLC-load-misses, cpu/instructions/ }'
# Event count (approx.): 16313667937

# Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol
