Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] perf stat: add rusage utime and stime events

It bothered me that during benchmarking using perf stat (to collect
for example CPU cache events) I could not simultaneously retrieve the
times spend in user or kernel mode in a machine readable format.

When running perf stat the output for humans contains the times
reported by rusage and wait4.

$ perf stat -e cache-misses:u -- true

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

             4,206      cache-misses:u

       0.001113619 seconds time elapsed

       0.001175000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

But perf stat's machine-readable format does not provide this information.

$ perf stat -x, -e cache-misses:u -- true
4282,,cache-misses:u,492859,100.00,,

I found no way to retrieve this information using the available events
while using machine-readable output.

This patch adds two new tool internal events 'rusage_user_time'
and 'rusage_system_time' as well as their aliases 'ru_utime' and
'ru_stime', similarly to the already present 'duration_time' event.

Both events use the already collected rusage information obtained by wait4
and tracked in the global ru_stats.

Examples presenting cache-misses and rusage information in both human and
machine-readable form:

$ ./perf stat -e duration_time,ru_utime,ru_stime,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .

 Performance counter stats for 'grep -q -r duration_time .':

        67,422,542 ns   duration_time:u
        50,517,000 ns   ru_utime:u
        16,839,000 ns   ru_stime:u
            30,937      cache-misses:u

       0.067422542 seconds time elapsed

       0.050517000 seconds user
       0.016839000 seconds sys

$ ./perf stat -x, -e duration_time,ru_utime,ru_stime,cache-misses -- grep -q -r duration_time .
72134524,ns,duration_time:u,72134524,100.00,,
65225000,ns,ru_utime:u,65225000,100.00,,
6865000,ns,ru_stime:u,6865000,100.00,,
38705,,cache-misses:u,71189328,100.00,,
