It is common to use the same counters with and without duration_time.
The ID sharing code treats duration_time as if it were a hardware event
placed in the same group. This causes unnecessary multiplexing such as
in the following example where l3_cache_access isn't shared:
$ perf stat -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,117,007 l3_cache_miss # 199.5 MB/s l3_rd_bw
# 43.6 % l3_hits
# 56.4 % l3_miss (50.00%)
5,526,447 l3_cache_access (50.00%)
5,392,435 l3_cache_access # 5389191.2 access/s l3_access_rate (50.00%)
1,000,601,901 ns duration_time
1.000601901 seconds time elapsed
Fix this by placing duration_time in all groups unless metric
sharing has been disabled on the command line:
$ perf stat -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,597,972 l3_cache_miss # 230.3 MB/s l3_rd_bw
# 48.0 % l3_hits
# 52.0 % l3_miss
6,914,459 l3_cache_access # 6909935.9 access/s l3_access_rate
1,000,654,579 ns duration_time
1.000654579 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat --metric-no-merge -M l3 -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
3,501,834 l3_cache_miss # 53.5 % l3_miss (24.99%)
6,548,173 l3_cache_access (24.99%)
3,417,622 l3_cache_miss # 45.7 % l3_hits (25.04%)
6,294,062 l3_cache_access (25.04%)
5,923,238 l3_cache_access # 5919688.1 access/s l3_access_rate (24.99%)
1,000,599,683 ns duration_time
3,607,486 l3_cache_miss # 230.9 MB/s l3_rd_bw (49.97%)
1.000599683 seconds time elapsed
v2. Doesn't count duration_time in the metric_list_cmp function that
sorts larger metrics first. Without this a metric with duration_time
and an event is sorted the same as a metric with two events,
possibly not allowing the first metric to share with the second.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
