Kim Phillips ab0809af0b perf evsel: Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling messages
Improve the error message returned on failed perf_event_open() on AMD
systems when using IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling).

Output of executing 'perf record -e ibs_op// true' as a non root user
BEFORE this patch (perf will add the 'u' modifier at the end to exclude
kernel/hypervisor sampling):

  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)for event (ibs_op//u).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

Output after:

  AMD IBS can't exclude kernel events.  Try running at a higher privilege level.

Output of executing 'sudo perf record -e ibs_op// true' BEFORE this patch:

  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (ibs_op//).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

Output after:

  Error:
  Invalid event (ibs_op//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

Folowing the suggestion:

  $ sudo perf record -a -e ibs_op// true
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.664 MB perf.data (194 samples) ]
  $
