| |
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':
