Hi Ian,
Unfortunately this revert breaks Coresight sink argument parsing.
Before:
$ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -- true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.008 MB perf.data ]
After:
$ perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/ -- true
event syntax error: 'cs_etm/@tmc_etr0/'
\___ parser error
I can't really see how it's related to the array syntax that the commit
messages mention, but it could either be that the revert wasn't applied
cleanly or just some unintended side effect.
We should probably add a cross platform parsing test for Coresight
arguments, but I don't know whether we should just blindly revert the
revert for now, or work on a new change that explicitly fixes the
Coresight case.
Thanks
James
