Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: clarify unsupported events from uncounted events
perf stat continues running even if the event list contains
counters that are not supported. The resulting output then
contains <not counted> for those events which gets confusing
as to which events are supported, but not counted and which
are not supported.
Before:
perf stat -ddd -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
0.571283 task-clock # 0.001 CPUs utilized
1 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec
