[ Upstream commit ecc68ee216 ]
It seems that perf stat -b <prog id> doesn't produce any results:
$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
Control descriptor is not initialized
cycles: 0 0 0
time counts unit events
10.007641640 <not supported> cycles
Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the
corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map.
I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf
and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which
perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is
required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results:
$ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv
Control descriptor is not initialized

The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the
same metric obtained via bpftool.
