I have been experimenting with the libpfm4 perf_example syst_smpl.c
and syst_count.c on a fedora 21. The syst_count executable seems to
work fine with the "-G" (cgroup) option, but the similar syst_smpl
does not seems to work with "-G" option. Is there a know issue with
syst_smpl? Below is the detailed output and comments.
