perf stat: Display user and system time
Adding the support to read rusage data once the workload is finished and
display the system/user time values:
$ perf stat --null perf bench sched pipe
...
Performance counter stats for 'perf bench sched pipe':
5.342599256 seconds time elapsed
2.544434000 seconds user
4.549691000 seconds sys
It works only in non -r mode and only for workload target.
So as of now, for workload targets, we display 3 types of timings. The
time we meassure in perf stat from enable to disable+period:
5.342599256 seconds time elapsed
The time spent in user and system lands, displayed only for workload
session/target:
2.544434000 seconds user
4.549691000 seconds sys
Those times are the very same displayed by 'time' tool. They are
returned by wait4 call via the getrusage struct interface.
Committer notes:
Had to rename some variables to avoid this on older systems such as
centos:6:
builtin-stat.c: In function 'print_footer':
builtin-stat.c:1831: warning: declaration of 'stime' shadows a global declaration
/usr/include/time.h:297: warning: shadowed declaration is here
Committer testing:
# perf stat --null time perf bench sched pipe
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

+TIMINGS
+-------
+As displayed in the example above we can display 3 types of timings.
+We always display the time the counters were enabled/alive:
+
+ 83.409183620 seconds time elapsed
+
+For workload sessions we also display time the workloads spent in
+user/system lands:
+
+ 74.684747000 seconds user
+ 8.739217000 seconds sys
+
+Those times are the very same as displayed by the 'time' tool.
