Jin Yao 0bdad97801 perf stat: Align CSV output for summary mode
The 'perf stat' subcommand supports the request for a summary of the
interval counter readings.  But the summary lines break the CSV output
so it's hard for scripts to parse the result.

Before:

  # perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary
       1.001323097,8013.48,msec,cpu-clock,8013483384,100.00,8.013,CPUs utilized

The summary line loses the timestamp column, which breaks the CSV
output.

We add a column at the original 'timestamp' position and it just says
'summary' for the summary line.

After:

  # perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary
       1.001196053,8012.72,msec,cpu-clock,8012722903,100.00,8.013,CPUs utilized

       1.001196053,82601,,branch-misses,8012824365,100.00,5.19,of all branches
           summary,8012.72,msec,cpu-clock,8012722903,100.00,7.986,CPUs utilized
           summary,218,,context-switches,8012753271,100.00,0.027,K/sec
           summary,9,,cpu-migrations,8012769767,100.00,0.001,K/sec
           summary,0,,page-faults,8012786257,100.00,0.000,K/sec
           summary,15004518,,cycles,8012790637,100.00,0.002,GHz

           summary,82601,,branch-misses,8012824365,100.00,5.19,of all branches

Now it's easy for script to analyse the summary lines.

Of course, we also consider not to break possible existing scripts which
can continue to use the broken CSV format by using a new '--no-csv-summary.'
option.

  # perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary --no-csv-summary

This option can be enabled in perf config by setting the variable
'stat.no-csv-summary'.

  # perf config stat.no-csv-summary=true

  # perf config -l
  stat.no-csv-summary=true

  # perf stat -x, -I1000 --interval-count 1 --summary

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
