perf stat: Tell user about unsupported events in the list
Similar to perf-record, tell user about unsupported events that will not be counted if invoked in verbose mode. e.g., $ perf stat -e dTLB-prefetch-misses -v -- sleep 1 dTLB-prefetch-misses event is not supported by the kernel. dTLB-prefetch-misses: 0 0 0 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': <not counted> dTLB-prefetch-misses 1.001884783 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304114655-10600-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
