So, I tried it with the example provided in the thread for a previous
version of this patch (IIRC) and it still fails:


[acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat -e '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}' -a -I 1000
ERROR: problems with path {unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.c: No such file or directory
event syntax error: '{unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.cores_c0}'
                     \___ Failed to load {unc_p_clockticks,unc_p_power_state_occupancy.c from source: Error when compiling BPF scriptlet

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[acme@jouet linux]$

And with another event that for sure is available on this machine:



[acme@jouet linux]$ perf stat -e '{uops_executed.core_cycles_ge_2}' -I 1000 usleep 10
ERROR: problems with path {uops_executed.c: No such file or directory
event syntax error: '{uops_executed.core_cycles_ge_2}'
                     \___ Failed to load {uops_executed.c from source: Error when compiling BPF scriptlet

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[acme@jouet linux]$


I thought this was due to the Makefile not noticing the change in the .l files, but I made
sure I deleted the build dir and rebuilt from scratch, same problem.
