I spoke too soon. This works for cycles, but not for branch-misses:
pannekake:~> sudo perf record -e branch-misses:ppH -a
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported) for event branch-misses:ppH. /bin/dmesg may provide additional
information.
No hardware sampling interrupt available. No APIC? If so then you can boot the kernel
with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it.
Why would the two be different?
I will make a guess that is processor dependent. On an E5540 with
3.4.11-1.fc16.x86_64, 3.6.10-2.fc16.x86_64, and 3.8 I get the same
failure message.
But on a E5620, it works fine with 3.4 and 3.7 (no intermediate kernels
on that box).
