--- Comment #2 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com> ---
Looked at it in more details, if you get EOPNOTSUPP, then you probably do have
CONFIG_OPROFILE=y enabled, but the perf_event_open() syscall fails and returns
EOPNOTSUPP. One reason for this to happen is when:

        if (is_sampling_event(event)) {
                if (event->pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_INTERRUPT) {
                        err = -EOPNOTSUPP;
                        goto err_alloc;
                }
        }

So this really depends on your hardware PMU, and the kernel support for it.
This is not a Buildroot bug.
