perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported"
perf stat is failing on PowerPC:
Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
commit 370faf1dd046 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events)
added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend
returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the
same.
With the patch applied, things work as expected:
