Description
As well as simple timings, it would be useful to have access to the stats generated by perf.
Exactly what stats are available will depend very much on the hardware and setup, but perf can generate a lot useful information, e.g.:
- Instructions retired
- Cache misses (both I and D caches)
- Stalls.
This sort of information would be very useful when trying to improve performance.

Research direction
Review pyperf's existing simple timing support and the related issue #107 first. Determine which perf statistics can be exposed across differing hardware and setups, and define how the results should be represented and validated. Done means the selected perf statistics are accessible alongside timings with documented behavior for unsupported counters.
