5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 68ca249c964f520af7f8763e22f12bd26b57b870 ]
As of now, bpf counters (bperf) don't support event groups. But the
default perf stat includes topdown metrics if supported (on recent Intel
machines) which require groups. That makes perf stat exiting.
$ sudo perf stat --bpf-counter true
bpf managed perf events do not yet support groups.
Actually the test explicitly uses cycles event only, but it missed to
pass the option when it checks the availability of the command.
Fixes: 2c0cb9f56020d2ea ("perf test: Add a shell test for 'perf stat --bpf-counters' new option")
