perf stat: Add per-core aggregation
This patch adds the --per-core option to perf stat.
This option is used to aggregate system-wide counts
on a per physical core basis. On processors with
hyperthreading, this means counts of all HT threads
running on a physical core are aggregated.
This mode is useful to find imblance between physical
cores running an uniform workload. Cores are identified
by socket: S0-C1, means physical core 1 on socket 0. Note
that cores are identified using their physical core id,
thus their numbering may not be continuous.
Per core aggregation can be combined with interval printing:
# perf stat -a --per-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 1000
# time core cpus counts events
1.000090030 S0-C0 1 4,765,747 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C1 1 5,580,647 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C2 1 221,181 cycles
1.000090030 S0-C3 1 266,092 cycles
