Just a minor nitpicking..

Is this check really needed?  I think that returning non-zero from the
ioctl always sets the errno, no?  How about this:

ret = ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID, );
if (!ret)
goto add;

if (errno != ENOTTY)
return -1;

...

I guess that it'll show you better diff stat. :)

Thanks,
