[PATCH 1/5] perf stat: add perf stat -B to pretty print large numbers
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

It is hard to read very large numbers so provide an option to perf stat
to separate thousands using a separator. The patch leverages the locale
support of stdio. You need to set your LC_NUMERIC appropriately, for
instance LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF8. You need to pass -B to activate this
feature. This way existing scripts parsing the output do not need to be
changed. Here is an example.
$ perf stat noploop 2
noploop for 2 seconds
