Hi,

[This is based on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux perf/core]

The following patch causes 'perf stat --repeat 0' to be interpreted as
'forever', displaying the stats for every run.

We act as if a single run was asked, and reset the stats in each
iteration. In this mode SIGINT is passed to perf to be able to stop the
loop with Ctrl+C.

Regards,
Frederik
