Subject: perf record: Enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier
Git-commit: f92da71280fb8da3a7c489e08a096f0b8715f939
Patch-mainline: v4.18-rc1
References: FATE#326324

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

# ========
  ...
  # cmdline : /root/abudanko/kernel/tip/tools/perf/perf record -v -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex
  # 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
