perf stat: Add support to measure SMI cost
Implementing a new --smi-cost mode in perf stat to measure SMI cost. During the measurement, the /sys/device/cpu/freeze_on_smi will be set. The measurement can be done with one counter (unhalted core cycles), and two free running MSR counters (IA32_APERF and SMI_COUNT). In practice, the percentages of SMI core cycles should be more useful than absolute value. So the output will be the percentage of SMI core cycles and SMI#. metric_only will be set by default. SMI cycles% = (aperf - unhalted core cycles) / aperf Here is an example output. Performance counter stats for 'sudo echo ': SMI cycles% SMI# 0.1% 1 0.010858678 seconds time elapsed Users who wants to get the actual value can apply additional --no-metric-only.
