[RFC/PATCH] perf stat: Show sample events stat for a data file

[Namhyung Kim]

Add --input option to 'perf stat' so that it can show event stats of the
file.  I would like to use a short '-i' option to be compatible with
other commands but it was already taken by '--no-inherit' option, so it
only supports the long option.

The example output looks like below:

  $ perf record -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.635 MB perf.data (1946 samples) ]

  $ perf stat --input perf.data

    Total event stats for 'perf.data' file:

              TOTAL events:       6837
               MMAP events:        116
               COMM events:        375
               EXIT events:          2
           THROTTLE events:         12
         UNTHROTTLE events:         11
               FORK events:        374
             SAMPLE events:       1946
              MMAP2 events:       3999
     FINISHED_ROUND events:          2

   Sample event stats:

         361,255,234      cycles
               1,946      samples                   #   sampling ratio  12.162% (486/4000)

         0.998581085 second time sampled

The sampling ratio was useful for me to determine how often the event
was sampled - in this case the cpu cycles event was only sampled at 12%
of the expected sampling frequency, so the system was mostly idle in
terms of cpu cycles (or the event was multiplexed in case of recording
large number of events at once).

The sampling ratio was calulated like below:

  expected_freq  = evsel->attr.sample_freq
  actual_freq    = (nr_samples / nr_cpus) / sample_time
  sampling_ratio = 100 * actual_freq / expected_freq
