[PATCH 08/16] tools/perf: extend format_alias() to include event parameters

Cody P Schafer dev at codyps.com
Wed May 28 10:22:03 EST 2014


This causes `perf list pmu` to show parameters for parameterized events
like follows:

  pmu/event_name,param1=?,param2=?/ [Kernel PMU event]

An example:

  hv_gpci/dispatch_timebase_by_processor_processor_time_in_timebase_cycles,phys_processor_idx=?/ [Kernel PMU event]
