No more info.
Sure, it does the usual "do you have an APIC" message (it does that
without "-v" too), which isn't useful:
Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 95 (Operation not
supported) for event cycles:pp. /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.
And yes, I have a local apic. Every single modern CPU does.
The error message is garbage and actively misleading. Lack of an APIC
is just about the *least* likely possible reason for the EOPNOTSUPP
error return.
