perf stat: Use cpu-clock event for cpu targets Currently 'perf stat' always counts task-clock event by default. But it's somewhat confusing for system-wide targets (especially with 'sleep N' as the 'sleep' task just sleeps and doesn't use cputime). Changing to cpu-clock event instead for that case makes more sense IMHO.
