Jiri Olsa b8a1962d17 perf script: Add stat-cpi.py script
Adding stat-cpi.py as an example of how to do stat scripting.

It computes the CPI metrics from cycles and instructions events.

The CPI is based performance metric showing the Cycles Per Instructions
ratio, which helps to identify cycles-hungry code.

Following stat record/report/script combinations could be used:

- get CPI for given workload

    $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions record ls

    SNIP

     Performance counter stats for 'ls':

             2,904,431      cycles
             3,346,878      instructions              #    1.15  insns per cycle

           0.001782686 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf script -s ./scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
           0.001783: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 0.867803 (2904431/3346878)

    $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions record ls | perf script -s ./scripts/python/stat-cpi.py

    SNIP

           0.001730: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 0.869026 (2928292/3369627)

- get CPI systemwide:

    $ perf stat -e cycles,instructions -a -I 1000 record sleep 3
    #           time             counts unit events
         1.000158618        594,274,711      cycles                     (100.00%)

         2.000350973        432,669,206      instructions
         3.000559210        561,940,430      cycles                     (100.00%)
         3.000559210        420,403,465      instructions
         3.000670798            780,105      cycles                     (100.00%)
         3.000670798            326,516      instructions

    $ perf script -s ./scripts/python/stat-cpi.py
           1.000159: cpu -1, thread -1 -> cpi 1.344823 (594274711/441898250)
