The 1 will be handled by perf stat showing <not counted> and
I'll add a warning for the item 2 like below:

  # perf stat -a -e cycles --for-each-cgroup ^foo sleep 1
  no cgroup matched: ^foo

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

        --for-each-cgroup <name>
                          expand events for each cgroup

Thanks
