    perf tools: Emit clearer message for sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return · ca6a4258
    David Ahern authored
    Resend of patch sent back in January 2011 in light of recent confusion around
    unsupported events for a given platform.
    
    Improve sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return handling in top and record, just
    like 5a3446bc does for stat.
    
    Retry of Arnaldo's patch using ui_warning instead of die which allows the
    fallback from hardware cycles to software clock.
