I'm starting to dig into this and unfortunately can't find any machines
that have HCA that don't have 64 bit counters and I assume there are still
some out there. What I think I want to do is when collectl starts up
execute a perfquery -x call and make sure it succeeds. the problem is I
don't knpw what failure looks like. is there anyone on this list who does
and who might be able to help me test some of this?
I just did find if I run perfquery with an invalid switch it give me a
usage error so maybe that is sufficient?
