Subject: [PATCH] perf: Util.py add_stats() computes the mean correctly
Date: Tue,  8 Aug 2017 22:31:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170809053149.14092-1-dima@secretsauce.net> (raw)

add_stats() is a utility function for perf scripts to accumulate a value, and
keep track of some statistics. The mean is one of the statistics it keeps track
of, but due to a bug, this wasn't being computed properly. This patch makes the
computation correct
