>Description:
pmcstat when outputing to kcachegrind does not handle multicore very well.  It will report n cores of each stat that you gathers w/o a way to add them up.  It will also hide which CPU each stat was collected from, as it uses a global index between all stats.

pmcstat needs to output CPUID, and add lines like:
event: TOTAL = FR_RETIRED_X86_INSTRUCTIONS_0 + FR_RETIRED_X86_INSTRUCTIONS_1 + FR_RETIRED_X86_INSTRUCTIONS_2 + FR_RETIRED_X86_INSTRUCTIONS_3

to provide a total of the even over all cpus.
