Ok, so I tried installing the Broadwell ones (one of my test machines)
and got into:

[root@jouet ~]# perf stat -M Pipeline flops
bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
ERROR: problems with path cpu/uops_executed.c: No such file or directory
Cannot set up events {uops_retired.retire_slots,inst_retired.any}:W,{inst_retired.any,cycles}:W,{uops_executed.thread,cpu/uops_executed.core,cmask=1/,uops_executed.cycles_ge_1_uop_exec}:W

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

-M, --metrics <metric/metric group list>
monitor specified metrics or metric groups (separated by ,)
[root@jouet ~]# perf stat -M Pipeline flops


Wasn't this already fixed?

This is with these patches applied:
