Subject: [PATCHSET 00/19] perf stat: Improve perf stat output (v1)

Hello,

I'm working on cleanup up the perf stat code.  The main focus this time
is the display logic which has various combinations of options.

I split the code for each output mode - std, csv and json.  And then
organize them according to the purpose like header, prefix, value,
metric and footer.  I hope this would help maintaining the code a bit
more.

Also I found that cgroup support is missing or insufficient.
Specifically when --for-each-cgroup option is given, it'd have multiple
copies of the events for those cgroups.  Then the output should group
the result.  This is true for the normal output mode, but the metric-
only mode didn't support it well.

With this change, I can see the per-cgroup topdown metrics like below:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --topdown --for-each-cgroup user.slice,system.slice sleep 3
  nmi_watchdog enabled with topdown. May give wrong results.
  Disable with echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

You can get it from 'perf/stat-display-v1' branch in
