[PATCH] perf stat: Show percore counts in per CPU output

From: Jin Yao
Date: Wed Feb 05 2020 - 20:56:50 EST


We have supported the event modifier "percore" which sums up the
event counts for all hardware threads in a core and show the counts
per core.

For example,

# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

S0-D0-C0 395,072 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C1 851,248 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C2 954,226 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
S0-D0-C3 1,233,659 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

This patch provides a new option "--percore-show-thread". It is
used with event modifier "percore" together to sum up the event counts
for all hardware threads in a core but show the counts per hardware
thread.

For example,

# perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/ -a -A --percore-show-thread -- sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

CPU0 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU1 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU2 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU3 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU4 2,453,061 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU5 1,823,921 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU6 1,383,166 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/
CPU7 1,102,652 cpu/event=cpu-cycles,percore/

We can see counts are duplicated in some CPU pairs
(CPU0/CPU4, CPU1/CPU5, CPU2/CPU6, CPU3/CPU7).

This new option may be useful for some script processing.
