This patch looks good to me.

A case is the Linux kernel has supported aux_pause_resume feature, but
the PMU event does not support it. So we might consider to add a extra
patch in perf:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c

                if (evsel->core.attr.sample_period != 0)
                        return scnprintf(msg, size,
        "%s: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'",

Thanks,
