Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: improve readability of shadow stats
This does follow two changes:
1) Select appropriate unit between K/M/G.
2) Use 'cpu-sec' instead of 'sec' to state this is not the wall-time.
$ sudo ./perf stat -a -- sleep 1
Before: Unit 'M' is selected even the number is very small.
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
4,003.06 msec cpu-clock # 3.998 CPUs utilized
16,179 context-switches # 0.004 M/sec
161 cpu-migrations # 0.040 K/sec
