perf stat: handle ENXIO error for perf_event_open
perf stat on PPC currently fails to run: $ perf stat -- sleep 1 Error: open_counter returned with 6 (No such device or address). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: Not all events could be opened. The problem is that until 2.6.37 (behavior changed with commit b0a873e) perf on PPC returns ENXIO when hw_perf_event_init() fails. With this patch we get the expected behavior: $ perf stat -v -- sleep 1 cycles event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-frontend event is not supported by the kernel. stalled-cycles-backend event is not supported by the kernel. instructions event is not supported by the kernel. branches event is not supported by the kernel. branch-misses event is not supported by the kernel. ...
