perf sort: Fix the 'weight' sort key behavior

Browse Source 
Currently, the 'weight' field in the perf sample has latency information
for some instructions like in memory accesses.  And perf tool has 'weight'
and 'local_weight' sort keys to display the info.

But it's somewhat confusing what it shows exactly.  In my understanding,
'local_weight' shows a weight in a single sample, and (global) 'weight'
shows a sum of the weights in the hist_entry.

For example:

  $ perf mem record -t load dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1M

  $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight
  ...
  #
  # Overhead  Samples  Command  Shared Object     Symbol                     Local Weight
  # ........  .......  .......  ................  .........................  ............
  #
      21.23%      313  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_get_not_zero   32
      12.43%      183  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_get_not_zero   35
      11.97%      159  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_get_not_zero   36
      10.40%      141  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_put_return     32
       7.63%      113  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_get_not_zero   33
       6.37%       92  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_get_not_zero   34
       6.15%       90  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] lockref_put_return     33
  ...

So let's look at the 'lockref_get_not_zero' symbols.  The top entry
shows that 313 samples were captured with 'local_weight' 32, so the
total weight should be 313 x 32 = 10016.  But it's not the case:

  $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
  ...
  #
  # Overhead  Samples  Command  Shared Object     Local Weight  Weight
  # ........  .......  .......  ................  ............  ......
  #
       1.36%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  36            144
       0.47%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  37            148
       0.42%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  32            128
       0.40%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  34            136
       0.35%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  36            144
       0.34%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  35            140
       0.30%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  36            144
       0.30%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  34            136
       0.30%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  32            128
       0.30%        4  dd       [kernel.vmlinux]  32            128
  ...

With the 'weight' sort key, it's divided to 4 samples even with the same
info ('comm', 'dso', 'sym' and 'local_weight').  I don't think this is
what we want.

I found this because of the way it aggregates the 'weight' value.  Since
it's not a period, we should not add them in the he->stat.  Otherwise,
two 32 'weight' entries will create a 64 'weight' entry.

After that, new 32 'weight' samples don't have a matching entry so it'd
create a new entry and make it a 64 'weight' entry again and again.
Later, they will be merged into 128 'weight' entries during the
hists__collapse_resort() with 4 samples, multiple times like above.

Let's keep the weight and display it differently.  For 'local_weight',
it can show the weight as is, and for (global) 'weight' it can display
the number multiplied by the number of samples.

With this change, I can see the expected numbers.

  $ perf report --stdio -n -s +local_weight,weight -S lockref_get_not_zero
