    perf stat: Implement CSV metrics output · 92a61f64
    Andi Kleen authored
    Now support CSV output for metrics. With the new output callbacks this
    is relatively straight forward by creating new callbacks.
    
    This allows to easily plot metrics from CSV files.
    
    The new line callback needs to know the number of fields to skip them
    correctly
    
    Example output before:
    
      % perf stat -x, true
      0.200687,,task-clock,200687,100.00
      0,,context-switches,200687,100.00
      0,,cpu-migrations,200687,100.00
      40,,page-faults,200687,100.00
      730871,,cycles,203601,100.00
      551056,,stalled-cycles-frontend,203601,100.00
      <not supported>,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00
      385523,,instructions,203601,100.00
      78028,,branches,203601,100.00
      3946,,branch-misses,203601,100.00
    
    After:
    
      % perf stat -x, true
      .502457,,task-clock,502457,100.00,0.485,CPUs utilized
      0,,context-switches,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec
      0,,cpu-migrations,502457,100.00,0.000,K/sec
      45,,page-faults,502457,100.00,0.090,M/sec
      644692,,cycles,509102,100.00,1.283,GHz
      423470,,stalled-cycles-frontend,509102,100.00,65.69,frontend cycles idle
      <not supported>,,stalled-cycles-backend,0,100.00,,,,
      492701,,instructions,509102,100.00,0.76,insn per cycle
      ,,,,,0.86,stalled cycles per insn
      97767,,branches,509102,100.00,194.578,M/sec
      4788,,branch-misses,509102,100.00,4.90,of all branches
    
    or easier readable

    Two new fields are added: metric value and metric name.
    
    v2: Split out function argument changes
    v3: Reenable metrics for real.
    v4: Fix wrong hunk from refactoring.
    v5: Remove extra "noise" printing (Jiri), but add it to the not counted case.
    Print empty metrics for not counted.
    v6: Avoid outputting metric on empty format.
    v7: Print metric at the end
    v8: Remove extra run, ena fields
    v9: Avoid extra new line for unsupported counters
