[PATCH 9/9] perf, tools, stat: Force --per-core mode for .agg-per-core aliases

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When an event alias is used that the kernel marked as .agg-per-core, force
--per-core mode (and also require -a and forbid cgroups or per thread mode).
This in term means, --topdown forces --per-core mode.

This is needed for TopDown in SMT mode, because it needs to measure
all threads in a core together and merge the values to compute the correct
percentages of how the pipeline is limited.

We do this if any alias is agg-per-core.

Add the code to parse the .agg-per-core attributes and propagate
the information to the evsel. Then the main stat code does
the necessary checks and forces per core mode.

Open issue: in combination with -C ... we get wrong values. I think that's
a existing bug that needs to be debugged/fixed separately.
