I realize it's been over three weeks since you posted this question,
so maybe you've found an answer already, but I had an idea on how to
do it so I decided to try it. I ended up with the following bash
script: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/10201ca1

I ran that script on my Talos II running Debian 8 and got the
following results: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/13696b59

Note that Debian for ppc64el is built without `-mcpu=power9`, so these
statistics won't include any POWER9 instructions. If you want to get
the stats for that, you'll want to build Debian (or another popular
distro) with the `-mcpu=power9` flag to make sure the POWER9
instructions and optimizations are enabled. It also might be a good
idea to gather instruction statistics for the kernel as well, since
kernel code might have a different distribution than the userspace
code I sampled.
