does it say unsupported when you omit -a? it should display error
and options like:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf stat -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles/'

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

    -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
    -A, --no-aggr         disable CPU count aggregation
    -B, --big-num         print large numbers with thousands' separators
    -C, --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor in system-wide
...

it's possible, can't think of anything being hurt by this now..
