Ian Rogers 2cc7aa995c perf stat: Refactor retry/skip/fatal error handling 
For the sake of Intel topdown events commit 9eac5612da ("perf
stat: Don't skip failing group events") changed 'perf stat' error
handling making it so that more errors were fatal and didn't report
"<not supported>" events. The change outside of topdown events was
unintentional.

The notion of "fatal" error handling was introduced in commit
e0e6a6ca3a ("perf stat: Factor out open error handling") and
refined in commits like commit cb5ef60067 ("perf stat: Error out
unsupported group leader immediately") to be an approach for avoiding
later assertion failures in the code base.

This change fixes those issues and removes the notion of a fatal error
on an event. If all events fail to open then a fatal error occurs with
the previous fatal error message. This seems to best match the notion of
supported events and allowing some errors not to stop 'perf stat', while
allowing the truly fatal no event case to terminate the tool early.

The evsel->errored flag is only used in the stat code but always just
meaning !evsel->supported although there is a comment about it being
sticky. Force all evsels to be supported in evsel__init and then clear
this when evsel__open fails. When an event is tried the supported is
set to true again. This simplifies the notion of whether an evsel is
broken.

In the get_group_fd code, fail to get a group fd when the evsel isn't
supported. If the leader isn't supported then it is also expected that
there is no group_fd as the leader will have been skipped. Therefore
change the BUG_ON test to be on supported rather than skippable. This
corrects the assertion errors that were the reason for the previous
fatal error handling.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
