[PATCH v1 1/2] perf stat: Clear reset_group for each stat run

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Mon Aug 22 2022 - 17:34:08 EST


If a weak group is broken then the reset_group flag remains set for
the next run. Having reset_group set means the counter isn't created
and ultimately a segfault.

A simple reproduction of this is:
perf stat -r2 -e '{cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles,cycles}:W
which will be added as a test in the next patch.

Fixes: 4804e0111662 ("perf stat: Use affinity for opening events")
