perf stat: Support 'percore' event qualifier
With this patch, we can use the 'percore' event qualifier in perf-stat. root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/,cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ -a -A -I1000 1.000773050 S0-C0 98,352,832 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.01%) 1.000773050 S0-C1 103,763,057 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 S0-C2 196,776,995 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 S0-C3 176,493,779 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3,percore=1/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 CPU0 47,699,641 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (50.02%) 1.000773050 CPU1 49,052,451 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU2 102,771,422 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU3 100,784,662 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU4 43,171,342 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU5 54,152,158 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU6 93,618,410 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.98%) 1.000773050 CPU7 74,477,589 cpu/event=0,umask=0x3/ (49.99%) In this example, we count the event 'ref-cycles' per-core and per-CPU in one perf stat command-line. From the output, we can see: S0-C0 = CPU0 + CPU4 S0-C1 = CPU1 + CPU5 S0-C2 = CPU2 + CPU6 S0-C3 = CPU3 + CPU7 So the result is expected (tiny difference is ignored). Note that, the 'percore' event qualifier needs to use with option '-A'.
