perf stat: Use group read for event groups
Make perf stat use group read if there are groups defined. The group read will get the values for all member of groups within a single syscall instead of calling read syscall for every event. We can see considerable less amount of kernel cycles spent on single group read, than reading each event separately, like for following perf stat command: # perf stat -e {cycles,instructions} -I 10 -a sleep 1 Monitored with "perf stat -r 5 -e '{cycles:u,cycles:k}'" Before: 24,325,676 cycles:u 297,040,775 cycles:k 1.038554134 seconds time elapsed After: 25,034,418 cycles:u 158,256,395 cycles:k 1.036864497 seconds time elapsed The perf_evsel__open fallback changes contributed by Andi Kleen.
