Subject'perf stat --repeat N' oddity/regression

So I just noticed this 'perf stat --repeat' oddity:

triton:~/tip> perf stat --repeat 3 -a -e instructions taskset 1 perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 2.068 [sec]

2.068208 usecs/op
483510 ops/sec
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 2.097 [sec]

2.097126 usecs/op
476843 ops/sec
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

Total time: 2.091 [sec]

2.091716 usecs/op
478076 ops/sec

Performance counter stats for 'system wide' (3 runs):

12,690,156,407 instructions

2.087612423 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.43% )

the stddev printout of 'instructions' is gone! This defeats the main purpose of
--repeat.

The 'elapsed' time +- stddev/noise display (which is still present) is only part
of the story.

I'm pretty sure we had the printout for all the measured fields a couple of months
ago - does any of you know what happened to it?

Thanks,

Ingo
