    perf stat: Improve scaling · 42a5864c
    Andi Kleen authored
    The multiplexing scaling in perf stat mysteriously adds 0.5 to the
    value. This dates back to the original perf tool. Other scaling code
    doesn't use that strange convention. Remove the extra 0.5.
    
    Before:
    
    $ perf stat -e 'cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles' grep -rq foo
    
     Performance counter stats for 'grep -rq foo':
    
             6,403,580      cycles                                                        (81.62%)
             6,404,341      cycles                                                        (81.64%)
             6,402,983      cycles                                                        (81.62%)
             6,399,941      cycles                                                        (81.63%)
             6,399,451      cycles                                                        (81.62%)
             6,436,105      cycles                                                        (91.87%)
