Try to have quoted output, the ones separated by ---- at the beginning
of the line indented two spaces, so as to avoid:

perf test record+probe_libc_inet_pton: Fix call chain match on powerpc

The perf test "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" fails on
powerpc as below:

root at xxx perf]# perf test -v "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with
ping"
 85: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 :
