[PATCH 1/3] perf-stat: refactor print/formatting into print-ops for

produces output like this for csv-output:

[jimc@harpo perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -Aa -x'\t' perl -e '$i++ for 1..100000'
CPU0 task-clock-msecs 16.255272
CPU0 context-switches 12
CPU0 CPU-migrations 0
CPU0 page-faults 445
CPU0 cycles 27441481 67.07%
CPU0 instructions 36775396 73.16%
CPU0 branches 8836245 20.72%
CPU0 branch-misses 21646 14.62%
CPU0 cache-references 58221 12.31%
CPU0 cache-misses 6815 12.28%
seconds-time-elapsed 0.016211262

This alters csv-output form by printing event-name in 1st column,
swapping cols 1, 2 from previous table. This may be problematic for
some existing users, but is more "normal" and therefore better
long-term. The 3rd - 5th colums match those in pretty

As before, csv-output is triggered by use of -x "sep", where sep can
be any string, not just a char. This patch adds special case for
"\t", which is converted to a tab.

[PATCH 2/3] perf-stat: fix +- nan% in -Aa runs

without this patch, I get computations like this:

[jimc@groucho perf]$ sudo ./perf stat -r3 -Aa perl -e '$i++ for 1..100000'

Performance counter stats for 'perl -e $i++ for 1..100000' (3 runs):

CPU0 12.391883 task-clock-msecs # 0.966 CPUs ( +- -nan% )
CPU1 12.446571 task-clock-msecs # 0.970 CPUs ( +- -nan% )
CPU2 12.408014 task-clock-msecs # 0.967 CPUs ( +- -nan% )
CPU3 12.422264 task-clock-msecs # 0.968 CPUs ( +- -nan% )

I couldnt see anything wrong in the caller, so fixed it in stddev_stats()

[PATCH 3/3] perf-stat: clean up <no count> handling, CPUx prefixing

push <no-count> printing into print-ops to hide some cruft, and fold
away dynamic formats. Refactor cpustr string prep into cpustr(int
cpu), use it everywhere, and change fn-sigs accordingly.

Also includes 1-line fixup for overlooked hack in earlier patch:
- if (scaled == -1 && !csv_output) {
+ if (scaled == -1) {
