Ingo Molnar 1fc570ad89 perf stat: Add stalled cycles to the default output
The new default output looks like this:

 Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_instructions':

     1,001,403,797 instructions             #    1.32  insns per cycle
                                            #    0.35  stalled cycles per insn
       100,279,773 branches                 #  424.895 M/sec
            12,646 branch-misses            #    0.013 % of all branches

        0.236902540  seconds time elapsed

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.
