perf record: Enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier
Enable complex event names containing [.:=,] symbols to be encoded into Perf
trace using name= modifier e.g. like this:
perf record -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',\
period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex
Below is how it looks like in the report output. Please note explicit escaped
quoting at cmdline string in the header so that thestring can be directly reused
for another collection in shell:
perf report --header

# event : name = OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM, , type = 4, size = 112, config = 0x100003c, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 3500000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME, disabled = 1, inh
