The -D/--delay option is to delay the measure after the program starts.
But the current code goes to sleep before starting the program so the
program is delayed too. This is not the intention, let's fix it.
Before:
$ time sudo ./perf stat -a -e cycles -D 3000 sleep 4
Events disabled
Events enabled
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
4,326,949,337 cycles
4.007494118 seconds time elapsed
real 0m7.474s
user 0m0.356s
sys 0m0.120s
It ran the workload for 4 seconds and gave the 3 second delay. So it
should skip the first 3 second and measure the last 1 second only. But
as you can see, it delays 3 seconds and ran the workload after that for
4 seconds. So the total time (real) was 7 seconds.
After:
$ time sudo ./perf stat -a -e cycles -D 3000 sleep 4
Events disabled
Events enabled
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
1,063,551,013 cycles
1.002769510 seconds time elapsed
real 0m4.484s
user 0m0.385s
sys 0m0.086s
The bug was introduced when it changed enablement of system-wide events
with a command line workload. But it should've considered the initial
delay case. The code was reworked since then (in bb8bc52e75) so I'm
afraid it won't be applied cleanly.
