I sent a fix:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/20251002200604.1792141-2-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/
that makes it so that only if all events are unsupported that perf
stat exits - this is addressing a bunch of latent issues and fixes the
perf-tools-next regression. I don't think there is a difference
between v3 and v6 wrt this behavior, I think you were probably just
cherry-picking the v6 patches onto a newer tree. When those 2 patches
land I can rebase this series on them and drop the first patch of this
series.

Thanks,
Ian
