[PATCH-REBASED 0/2] report perf sampling failing due to PMU lacking overflow intr support

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi,

This is a repost of RFC [1], rebased on 4.7-rc1, to print pretty PMU lacking
overflow interrupt support if user tries perf sampling.

At the time of RFC review, both PeterZ and Vince seemed convinced to go ahead
with this patch despite the ABI change [2].

Thx,
-Vineet
