From 56295051214ef9616d90ef34a3fe43628985433f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 14:14:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix pmu events parsing rule [ Upstream commit ceac7b79df7bd67ef9aaf464b0179a2686aff4ee ] Currently all the event parsing fails end up in the event_pmu rule, and display misleading help like: $ perf stat -e inst kill event syntax error: 'inst' \___ Cannot find PMU `inst'. Missing kernel support? ... The reason is that the event_pmu is too strong and match also single string. Changing it to force the '/' separators to be part of the rule, and getting the proper error now: $ perf stat -e inst kill event syntax error: 'inst' \___ parser error Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events ...
