Namhyung Kim 94b69c615e perf test: Add shadow stat test
It calculates IPC from the cycles and instruction counts and compares it
with the shadow stat for both global aggregation (default) and no
aggregation mode.

 $ perf stat -a -A -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0   39,580,880      cycles
  CPU1   45,426,945      cycles
  CPU2   31,151,685      cycles
  CPU3   55,167,421      cycles
  CPU0   17,073,564      instructions      #    0.43  insn per cycle
  CPU1   34,955,764      instructions      #    0.77  insn per cycle
  CPU2   15,688,459      instructions      #    0.50  insn per cycle
  CPU3   34,699,217      instructions      #    0.63  insn per cycle

       1.003275495 seconds time elapsed

In this example, the 'insn per cycle' should be matched to the number
for each cpu.  For CPU2, 0.50 = 15,688,459 / 31,151,685 .

README

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.
