2026-09-29perf python stat-cpi: Fix live mode signal races and test flakinessIan Rogers
In test_stat_cpi_python.sh, 'perf test -w noploop &' defaults to a 1-second duration and can exit under heavy parallel load before 'perf stat -p' and 'perf script stat-cpi' finish starting up. In addition, the fixed 'sleep 0.5' before sending SIGINT can fire before Python finishes importing the perf module, opening the live evlist, and flushing the first interval. In stat-cpi.py, register SIGINT and SIGTERM handlers before calling _open_live_evlist() and pass flush=True when printing live output so redirected stdout is flushed immediately after each interval. In test_stat_cpi_python.sh, run 'perf test -w noploop 60 &' so the target workload stays alive until killed, and poll the output file for 'cpi' (up to 5 seconds) before sending SIGINT.

2026-09-26perf python: Port stat-cpi to perf moduleIan Rogers
Port stat-cpi.py from the legacy embedded scripting framework to a standalone Python script in tools/perf/python/ to calculate Cycles Per Instruction (CPI) per interval per CPU or thread. Improvements compared to the legacy script: - Support both perf.data file mode (via perf.session stat callbacks) and live counter collection mode (using perf.parse_events, evlist.open, and evsel.read across intervals), with automatic fallback to user-space (:u) and self-process monitoring when perf_event_paranoid restricts system-wide events (EACCES). - Compute per-interval counter deltas (val, ena, run) keyed by raw event name so cumulative PERF_RECORD_STAT snapshots and hybrid PMU events (e.g. cpu_core/cycles/, cpu_atom/cycles/) are accumulated accurately, and scale counts by time_enabled / time_running when multiplexed. - Replace hard-coded CPU ([0, 1]) and thread ([0]) arrays with dynamic CPU and thread discovery so arbitrary system topologies work automatically. - Add CLI option handling (-i, -I, -p) via argparse and type annotations passing mypy and pylint. Add a shell test (test_stat_cpi_python.sh) to verify the standalone script.
