perf stat: Add per processor socket count aggregation
This patch adds per-processor socket count aggregation for system-wide
mode measurements. This is a useful mode to detect imbalance between
sockets.
To enable this mode, use --aggr-socket in addition
to -a. (system-wide).
The output includes the socket number and the number of online
processors on that socket. This is useful to gauge the amount of
aggregation.
# ./perf stat -I 1000 -a --aggr-socket -e cycles sleep 2
# time socket cpus counts events
