[PATCH v17 10/19] perf, tools, jevents: Add support for long descriptions

Sukadev Bhattiprolu sukadev at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Sep 29 10:50:48 AEST 2015


Implement support in jevents to parse long descriptions for events
that may have them in the JSON files. A follow on patch will make this
long description available to user through the 'perf list' command.
