In 'perf stat' with CSV output option, number of fields in metrics
output is not matching with number of fields in other event output
lines.
Sample output below after applying patch to fix printing os->prefix.
# ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls
S0,1,82.11,msec,cpu-clock,82111626,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
S0,1,2,,context-switches,82109314,100.00,24.358,/sec
------
====> S0,1,,,,,,,1.71,stalled cycles per insn
The above command line uses field separator as "," via "-x," option and
per-socket option displays socket value as first field. But here the
last line for "stalled cycles per insn" has more separators. Each csv
output line is expected to have 8 field separators (for the 9 fields),
where as last line has 9 "," in the result. Patch fixes this issue.
The counter stats are displayed by function
"perf_stat__print_shadow_stats" in code "util/stat-shadow.c". While
printing the stats info for "stalled cycles per insn", function
"new_line_csv" is used as new_line callback.
The fields printed in each line contains: "Socket_id,aggr
nr,Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent,ratio,unit"
The metric output prints Socket_id, aggr nr, ratio and unit. It has to
skip through remaining five fields ie,
Avg,unit,event_name,run,enable_percent. The csv line callback uses
"os->nfields" to know the number of fields to skip to match with other
lines.
Currently it is set as:
os.nfields = 3 + aggr_fields[config->aggr_mode] + (counter->cgrp ? 1 : 0);
But in case of aggregation modes, csv_sep already gets printed along
with each field (Function "aggr_printout" in util/stat-display.c). So
aggr_fields can be removed from nfields. And fixed number of fields to
skip has to be "4". This is to skip fields for: "avg, unit, event name,
run, enable_percent"
This needs 4 csv separators. Patch removes aggr_fields
and uses 4 as fixed number of os->nfields to skip.
After the patch:
# ./perf stat -x, --per-socket -a -C 1 ls
S0,1,79.08,msec,cpu-clock,79085956,100.00,1.000,CPUs utilized
S0,1,7,,context-switches,79084176,100.00,88.514,/sec
------
====> S0,1,,,,,,0.81,stalled cycles per insn

It printed empty strings for each metric. I guess it's needed for CSV
output to match the column number. We could just ignore the empty
metrics in JSON but it ended up with a broken JSON object with a
trailing comma.
So I added a dummy '"metric-value" : "none"' part. To do that, it
needs to pass struct outstate to print_metric_end() to check if any
metric value is printed or not.

# perf stat -aj --metric-only --per-socket --for-each-cgroup system.slice true

It generated a broken JSON output when aggregation mode or cgroup is
used with --metric-only option. Also get rid of the header line and
make the output single line for each entry.
It needs to know whether the current metric is the first one or not.
So add 'first' field in the outstate and mark it false after printing.
Before:
# perf stat -a -j --metric-only true

We don't care about the alignment in the CSV output as it's intended for machine

Currently it prints all metric headers for JSON output. But actually it
skips some metrics with valid_only_metric(). So the output looks like:
$ perf stat --metric-only --json true
{"unit" : "CPUs utilized", "unit" : "/sec", "unit" : "/sec", "unit" : "/sec", "unit" : "GHz", "unit" : "insn per cycle", "unit" : "/sec", "unit" : "branch-misses of all branches"}
{"metric-value" : "3.861"}{"metric-value" : "0.79"}{"metric-value" : "3.04"}
As you can see there are 8 units in the header but only 3 metric-values
are there. It should skip the unused headers as well. Also each unit
should be printed as a separate object like metric values.
With this patch:
$ perf stat --metric-only --json true
{"unit" : "GHz"}{"unit" : "insn per cycle"}{"unit" : "branch-misses of all branches"}
{"metric-value" : "4.166"}{"metric-value" : "0.73"}{"metric-value" : "2.96"}
