What about:
# perf stat -a -e power/energy-cores/,power/energy-pkg/,ref-cycles -I 1000
sleep 1000
# time events
1.000264953 2.09 Joules power/energy-cores/
1.000264953 5.94 Joules power/energy-pkg/
1.000264953 160,530,320 ref-cycles
2.000640422 2.07 Joules power/energy-cores/
2.000640422 5.94 Joules power/energy-pkg/
2.000640422 152,673,056 ref-cycles
3.000964416 2.08 Joules power/energy-cores/
3.000964416 5.93 Joules power/energy-pkg/
3.000964416 158,779,184 ref-cycles
?
Or even 2.09J power/energy-cores/?
I.e. a perf_evsel__fprintf_value(evsel) would append a unit string, if
available.
