perf stat: Fix event grouping on forked task
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
