Perhaps it's just me, but the option name is ugly (and sounds aggressive)
--per-core perhaps?
The idea itself is useful.

FWIW this would be much nicer if stat had a Kevents or Mevents mode. Usually we don't need all the digits. But that could be added separately
Does it work for multiple events in parallel? > > # perf stat -a --aggr-core -I 1000 -e cycles sleep 100 > # time core cpus counts events > 1.000101160 S0-C0 2 6,051,254,899 cycles > 1.000101160 S0-C1 2 6,379,230,776 cycles > 1.000101160 S0-C2 2 6,480,268,471 cycles > 1.000101160 S0-C3 2 6,110,514,321 cycles > 2.000663750 S0-C0 2 6,572,533,016 cycles > 2.000663750 S0-C1 2 6,378,623,674 cycles > 2.000663750 S0-C2 2 6,264,127,589 cycles > 2.000663750 S0-C3 2 6,305,346,613 cycles
