When the "cycles" event isn't available evsel will fallback to the "cpu-clock" software event. "task-clock" is similar to "cpu-clock" but only runs when the process is running. Falling back to "cpu-clock" when not system wide leads to confusion, by falling back to "task-clock" it is hoped the confusion is less. Pass the target to determine if "task-clock" is more appropriate. Update a nearby comment and debug string for the change.

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.
