[Bug 2145818] Re: perf stat does not work - regression

actually it isn't yet due to a packaging bug, so this is caused by
upstream then, most likely

Title:
perf stat does not work - regression

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux source package in Resolute:
New

Bug description:
On one of my PCs perf stat stopped working. On another the -d switch doesn't make much difference.
For Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz (cpuinfo) 'perf stat ls', 'perf stat -d ls', 'perf stat -d -d ls', 'perf stat -d -d -d ls' print the same error:
Error:
No supported events found.
??
However for 'perf stat -e cycles ls' the output is
Performance couter stats for 'ls':
6,557,256 cycles

0.002429424 seconds time elapsed

0.002426000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys

For perf -d -d -d -p it used to give (kernel 6.19, 6.17):
Performance counter stats for process id '21020':

Running perf stat -v ls prints:

On another PC (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz = CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8C-1) no matter now many -d I use (0 to 3) I always get:
