Jiri Olsa 0aa802a794 perf stat: Get rid of extra clock display function
There's no reason to have separate function to display clock events.
It's only purpose was to convert the nanosecond value into microseconds.
We do that now in generic code, if the unit and scale values are
properly set, which this patch do for clock events.

The output differs in the unit field being displayed in its columns
rather than having it added as a suffix of the event name. Plus the
value is rounded into 2 decimal numbers as for any other event.

Before:

  # perf stat  -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

       3001.123137      cpu-clock (msec)          #    1.000 CPUs utilized
       3001.133250      task-clock (msec)         #    1.000 CPUs utilized

       3.001159813 seconds time elapsed

Now:

  # perf stat  -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 sleep 3

   Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0':

          3,001.05 msec cpu-clock                 #    1.000 CPUs utilized
          3,001.05 msec task-clock                #    1.000 CPUs utilized

       3.001077794 seconds time elapsed

There's a small difference in csv output, as we now output the unit
field, which was empty before. It's in the proper spot, so there's no
compatibility issue.

Before:

  # perf stat  -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 -x, sleep 3
  3001.065177,,cpu-clock,3001064187,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
  3001.077085,,task-clock,3001077085,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized

  # perf stat  -e cpu-clock,task-clock -C 0 -x, sleep 3
  3000.80,msec,cpu-clock,3000799026,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
  3000.80,msec,task-clock,3000799550,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized

Add perf_evsel__is_clock to replace nsec_counter.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
