    perf stat: Add JSON output option · df936cad
    Claire Jensen authored
    CSV output is tricky to format and column layout changes are susceptible
    to breaking parsers. New JSON-formatted output has variable names to
    identify fields that are consistent and informative, making the output
    parseable.
    
    CSV output example:
    
      1.20,msec,task-clock:u,1204272,100.00,0.697,CPUs utilized
      0,,context-switches:u,1204272,100.00,0.000,/sec
      0,,cpu-migrations:u,1204272,100.00,0.000,/sec
      70,,page-faults:u,1204272,100.00,58.126,K/sec
    
    JSON output example:
    
      {"counter-value" : "3805.723968", "unit" : "msec", "event" :
      "cpu-clock", "event-runtime" : 3805731510100.00, "pcnt-running"
      : 100.00, "metric-value" : 4.007571, "metric-unit" : "CPUs utilized"}
      {"counter-value" : "6166.000000", "unit" : "", "event" :
      "context-switches", "event-runtime" : 3805723045100.00, "pcnt-running"
      : 100.00, "metric-value" : 1.620191, "metric-unit" : "K/sec"}
      {"counter-value" : "466.000000", "unit" : "", "event" :
      "cpu-migrations", "event-runtime" : 3805727613100.00, "pcnt-running"
      : 100.00, "metric-value" : 122.447136, "metric-unit" : "/sec"}
      {"counter-value" : "208.000000", "unit" : "", "event" :
      "page-faults", "event-runtime" : 3805726799100.00, "pcnt-running"
      : 100.00, "metric-value" : 54.654516, "metric-unit" : "/sec"}
    
    Also added documentation for JSON option.
    
    There is some tidy up of CSV code including a potential memory over run
    in the os.nfields set up. To facilitate this an AGGR_MAX value is added.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Fixed up using PRIu64 to format u64 values, not %lu.
