Changbin Du 6859bc0e78 perf stat: Improve readability of shadow stats
This adds function convert_unit_double() and selects appropriate
unit for shadow stats between K/M/G.

  $ sudo perf stat -a -- sleep 1

Before: Unit 'M' is selected even the number is very small.

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

v2:
  o do not change 'sec' to 'cpu-sec'.
  o use convert_unit_double to implement convert_unit.

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.
