It would be useful to support the overall statistics for perf-stat interval mode. For example, report the summary at the end of "perf-stat -I" output. But since perf-stat can support many aggregation modes, such as --per-thread, --per-socket, -M and etc, we need a solution which doesn't bring much complexity. The idea is to use 'evsel->prev_raw_counts' which is updated in each interval and it's saved with the latest counts. Before reporting the summary, we copy the counts from evsel->prev_raw_counts to evsel->counts, and next we just follow non-interval processing. v5: --- Don't save the previous aggr value to the member of [cpu0,thread0] in perf_counts. Originally that was a trick because the perf_stat_process_counter would create aggr values from per cpu values. But we don't need to do that all the time. We will handle it in next patch.

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.
