right, something like this in verbose mode?
it display cpu maps of events that did not match

[root@krava perf]# ./perf stat -e '{cycles,power/energy-cores/}' -v
WARNING: group events cpu maps do not match, disabling group:
  anon group { cycles, power/energy-cores/ }
     cycles: 0-7
     power/energy-cores/: 0
