Perf-stat tool does not support ipc and ipc_rate monitoring on NVIDIA Grace system

[Brad Figg]

PROBLEM:

While trying to monitor the ipc group for using perf-stat tool, despite it being supported, I get the following errors:
$ sudo perf list | grep ipc
  ipc
  ipc_rate
  retired_ipc
  spec_ipc

$ sudo -S perf stat -a -M ipc -- sudo -S stress-ng --cpu 0 -t 10s
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (instructions).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
$ sudo -S perf stat -a -M ipc_rate -- sudo -S stress-ng --cpu 0 -t 10s
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (instructions).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

However, I can get the groups retired_ipc and spec_ipc to work:
$ sudo -S perf stat -a -M retired_ipc -- sudo -S stress-ng --cpu 0 -t 10s
Value 0 contains non-numeric: ' '
