perf stat: Use proper cpu for shadow stats
Currently perf stat shows some metrics (like IPC) for defined events. But when no aggregation mode is used (-A option), it shows incorrect values since it used a value from a different cpu. Before: $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': CPU0 116,057,380 cycles CPU1 86,084,722 cycles CPU2 99,423,125 cycles CPU3 98,272,994 cycles CPU0 53,369,217 instructions # 0.46 insn per cycle CPU1 33,378,058 instructions # 0.29 insn per cycle CPU2 58,150,086 instructions # 0.50 insn per cycle CPU3 40,029,703 instructions # 0.34 insn per cycle 1.001816971 seconds time elapsed So the IPC for CPU1 should be 0.38 (= 33,378,058 / 86,084,722) but it was 0.29 (= 33,378,058 / 116,057,380) and so on. After: $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1 Performance counter...
