[PATCHv2 0/3] perf: Add cputime events/metrics

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
so.. I failed to make work reliably the exclude_idle bit for
cpu-clock event using the idle's process sum_exec_runtime as
Peter outlined in his patch [1]. The time jumped up and down
and I couldn't make it stable.

But I noticed we actually have IDLE stats (and many more)
available for each CPU (enum cpu_usage_stat), we just can't
reach them by perf yet.

This patchset adds 'cputime' perf software PMU, that provides
CPUTIME_* stats via events that mirrors their names:

  # perf list | grep cputime
    cputime/guest/                                     [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/guest_nice/                                [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/idle/                                      [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/iowait/                                    [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/irq/                                       [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/nice/                                      [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/softirq/                                   [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/steal/                                     [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/system/                                    [Kernel PMU event]
    cputime/user/                                      [Kernel PMU event]


v2 changes:
  - all of the support patches are already in
  - new way of 'fixing' of idle counts when tick is disabled (patch 2)


Examples:
  # perf stat --top -I 1000
