Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] perf stat: fix counting when initial delay configured
Date:   Thu, 2 Mar 2023 11:11:44 +0800

When creating counters with initial delay configured, the enable_on_exec
field is not set. So we need to enable the counters later. The problem
is, when a workload is specified the target__none() is true. So we also
need to check stat_config.initial_delay.

In this change, we add a new field 'initial_delay' for struct target which
could be shared by other subcommands. And define target__enable_on_exec()
which returns whether enable_on_exec should be set on normal cases.

Before this fix the event is not counted:
$ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2
Events disabled
Events enabled

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2':

     <not counted>      instructions

       1.901661124 seconds time elapsed

       0.001602000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

After fix it works:
$ ./perf stat -e instructions -D 100 sleep 2
Events disabled
Events enabled

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 2':

           404,214      instructions

       1.901743475 seconds time elapsed

       0.001617000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys
