    perf stat: clarify unsupported events from uncounted events · 2cee77c4
    David Ahern authored
    perf stat continues running even if the event list contains counters
    that are not supported. The resulting output then contains <not counted>
    for those events which gets confusing as to which events are supported,
    but not counted and which are not supported.
    
    Before:
    
    perf stat -ddd -- sleep 1
    
          Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

    v1->v2:
    changed supported type from int to bool
    
    v2->v3
    fixed vertical alignment of new struct element
