perf stat: Fix interval output values
We broke interval data displays with commit:
3f416f22d1e2 ("perf stat: Do not clean event's private stats")
This commit removed stats cleaning, which is important for '-r' option
to carry counters data over the whole run. But it's necessary to clean
it for interval mode, otherwise the displayed value is avg of all
previous values.
Before:
$ perf stat -e cycles -a -I 1000 record
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 91,519,906 cycles
Now:
$ perf stat report
# time counts unit events
1.000240796 75,216,287 cycles
2.000512791 107,823,524 cycles
Notice the second value being bigger (91,.. < 107,..).
This could be easily verified by using perf script which displays raw
stat data:
$ perf script
CPU THREAD VAL ENA RUN TIME EVENT
0 -1 23855779 1000209530 1000209530 1000240796 cycles
1 -1 33340397 1000224964 1000224964 1000240796 cycles
2 -1 15835415 1000226695 1000226695 1000240796 cycles
3 -1 2184696 1000228245 1000228245 1000240796 cycles
0 -1 97014312 2000514533 2000514533 2000512791 cycles
1 -1 46121497 2000543795 2000543795 2000512791 cycles
2 -1 32269530 2000543566 2000543566 2000512791 cycles
3 -1 7634472 2000544108 2000544108 2000512791 cycles
The sum of the first 4 values is the first interval aggregated value:
23855779 + 33340397 + 15835415 + 2184696 = 75,216,287
The sum of the second 4 values minus first value is the second interval
aggregated value:
97014312 + 46121497 + 32269530 + 7634472 - 75216287 = 107,823,524
