    perf record: Enable counters only when kernel is execing subcommand · 46be604b
    Zhang, Yanmin 提交于
    'perf record' starts counters before subcommand is execed, so
    the statistics is not precise because it includes data of some
    preparation steps. I fix it with the patch.
    
    In addition, change the condition to fork/exec subcommand. If
    there is a subcommand parameter, perf always fork/exec it. The
    usage example is:
    
     # perf record -f -a sleep 10
    
    So this command could collect statistics for 10 seconds
    precisely. User still could stop it by CTRL+C. Without the new
    capability, user could only input CTRL+C to stop it without
    precise time clock.
