Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
2,416,092 cpu_core/instructions/
305,840 cpu_atom/instructions/
2,645,138 cpu_core/cycles/
789,631 cpu_atom/cycles/

# ./perf stat -e instructions,cycles -a --hybrid-merge /bin/true
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
2,702,612 instructions
3,607,773 cycles
0.002475749 seconds time elapsed
Currently, no metrics showed for the hybrid systems.
