[PATCHSET v2 0/6] perf report: Make --stat output more compact

From: Namhyung Kim

Hello,

This patchset changes the output of perf report --stat.

Changes from v1)
* fix build error in TUI (Jiri)
* print percentage of each event (Andi)


The perf report --stat shows event statistics like below:

$ perf report --stat

Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 20064
MMAP events: 239
LOST events: 0
COMM events: 1518
EXIT events: 1
THROTTLE events: 0
UNTHROTTLE events: 0
FORK events: 1517
READ events: 0
SAMPLE events: 4015
MMAP2 events: 12769
AUX events: 0
ITRACE_START events: 0
LOST_SAMPLES events: 0
SWITCH events: 0
SWITCH_CPU_WIDE events: 0
NAMESPACES events: 0
KSYMBOL events: 0
BPF_EVENT events: 0
CGROUP events: 0
TEXT_POKE events: 0
ATTR events: 0
EVENT_TYPE events: 0
TRACING_DATA events: 0
BUILD_ID events: 0
FINISHED_ROUND events: 2
ID_INDEX events: 0
AUXTRACE_INFO events: 0
AUXTRACE events: 0
AUXTRACE_ERROR events: 0
THREAD_MAP events: 1
CPU_MAP events: 1
STAT_CONFIG events: 0
STAT events: 0
STAT_ROUND events: 0
EVENT_UPDATE events: 0
TIME_CONV events: 1
FEATURE events: 0
COMPRESSED events: 0

But it's too long and mostly 0 so we can make it more compact. Also
perf report -D has similar output at the end with each event's sample
count. It'd be better if we can have the same output in both case.

So I added --skip-empty (and --no-skip-empty automatically) to suppres
the 0 output and add the event stats like below.

$ perf report --stat --skip-empty

Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 20064
MMAP events: 239 ( 1.2%)
COMM events: 1518 ( 7.6%)
EXIT events: 1 ( 0.0%)
FORK events: 1517 ( 7.6%)
SAMPLE events: 4015 (20.0%)
MMAP2 events: 12769 (63.6%)
FINISHED_ROUND events: 2 ( 0.0%)
THREAD_MAP events: 1 ( 0.0%)
CPU_MAP events: 1 ( 0.0%)
TIME_CONV events: 1 ( 0.0%)
cycles stats:
SAMPLE events: 2475
instructions stats:
SAMPLE events: 1540


And I make it enabled by default with a new config option
report.skip-empty to change the behavior if needed.

Thanks,
Namhyung
