I don't understand how is this different from -A output:

  # ./perf stat -e cpu/event=cpu-cycles/ -A  
  ^C
   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0              56,847,497      cpu/event=cpu-cycles/

  CPU2              63,866,342      cpu/event=cpu-cycles/

  CPU7              48,472,895      cpu/event=cpu-cycles/                                       

       1.074800857 seconds time elapsed

also the interval output is mangled:
