Subject[PATCH 2/2] perf record: Show precise number of samples
Date
After perf record finishes, it prints file size and number of samples
in the file but this info is wrong since it assumes typical sample
size of 24 bytes and divides file size by the value.

However as we post-process recorded samples for build-id, it can show
correct number like below. If build-id post-processing is not requested
just omit the wrong number of samples.

$ perf record noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.159 MB perf.data (3989 samples) ]

$ perf report --stdio -n
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
#
# Samples: 3K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 3771330663
#
# Overhead Samples Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............ ....... ................ ..........................
#
99.90% 3982 noploop noploop [.] main
0.09% 1 noploop ld-2.17.so [.] _dl_check_map_versions
0.01% 1 noploop [kernel.vmlinux] [k] setup_arg_pages
0.00% 5 noploop [kernel.vmlinux] [k] intel_pmu_enable_all
