Ian Rogers dcffc5ebb8 perf evsel: Improve error message for uncore events
When a group has multiple events and the leader fails it can yield
errors like:

  $ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc/cas_count_read/},instructions' /bin/true
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (uncore_imc/cas_count_read/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

However, when not the group leader <not supported> is given:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,uncore_imc/cas_count_read/}' /bin/true
  ...
           1,619,057      instructions
     <not supported> MiB  uncore_imc/cas_count_read/

This is necessary because get_group_fd will fail if the leader fails and
is the direct result of the check on line 750 of builtin-stat.c in
stat_handle_error that returns COUNTER_SKIP for the latter case.

This patch improves the error message to:

  $ perf stat -e '{uncore_imc/cas_count_read/},instructions' /bin/true
  Error:
  Invalid event (uncore_imc/cas_count_read/) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

v2. Changed the test to use !target__has_cpu as suggested by Namhyung Kim.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
