Error showing value of type LinuxPerf.Counters

[cuihantao]

I tried to run the first test in my Julia and got the following error. It seems to do with PrettyTables. I'm using PrettyTables v2.1.2 and LinuxPerf 0.3.4.

I'm using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04

I had the code working another day on a different computer but cannot reproduce it.

I downgraded PrettyTables to 1.3.1 and fixes it.

@chriselrod could look into this?

Oh, huh, my PrettyTables PR might've broken some things.
The only thing I ever use is @pstats, which worked fine.
All the tests also pass, but I see that
