     ("perf/core: Change the default paranoia level to 2")
    'perf stat' fails for users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so just use
    'perf_evsel__fallback()' to have the same behaviour as 'perf record',
    i.e. set perf_event_attr.exclude_kernel to 1.
    
    Now:
    
      [acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat usleep 1
    
       Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
