    perf stat: Merge uncore events by default for hybrid platform · e0a7ef2a

    On a hybrid platform, by default 'perf stat' aggregates and reports the
    event counts per PMU. For example,
    
      # perf stat -e cycles -a true
    
       Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
               1,400,445      cpu_core/cycles/
                 680,881      cpu_atom/cycles/
    
             0.001770773 seconds time elapsed
    
    But for uncore events that's not a suitable method. Uncore has nothing
    to do with hybrid. So for uncore events, we aggregate event counts from
    all PMUs and report the counts without PMUs.
    
    Before:
    
      # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ -a true
    
       Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                   2,058      uncore_arb_0/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
                   2,028      uncore_arb_1/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
                       0      uncore_arb_0/event=0x84,umask=0x1/
                       0      uncore_arb_1/event=0x84,umask=0x1/
    
             0.000614498 seconds time elapsed
    
    After:
    
      # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ -a true
    
       Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                   3,996      arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
                       0      arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/
    
             0.000630046 seconds time elapsed
    
    Of course, we also keep the '--no-merge' working for uncore events.
    
      # perf stat -e arb/event=0x81,umask=0x1/,arb/event=0x84,umask=0x1/ --no-merge true
    
       Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                   1,952      uncore_arb_0/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
                   1,921      uncore_arb_1/event=0x81,umask=0x1/
                       0      uncore_arb_0/event=0x84,umask=0x1/
                       0      uncore_arb_1/event=0x84,umask=0x1/
