| |
From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
When an event is in error state, read() returns 0 instead of sizeof() buffer. In certain modes, such as interval printing, ignoring the 0 return value may cause bogus count deltas to be computed and thus invalid results printed.
this patch fixes this problem by modifying read_counters() to mark the event as not scaled (scaled = -1) to force the printout routine to show <NOT COUNTED>.
