perf list: Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix
If somebody happens to name an event with the beginning of 'tracepoint' (e.g. tracepoint_foo), then it will never be showed with perf list event_glob, thus we parse the argument 'tracepoint' more carefully for accuracy. Example: Before this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* jbd2:jbd2_start_commit [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_commit_locking [Tracepoint event] jbd2:jbd2_run_stats [Tracepoint event] block:block_rq_issue [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_complete [Tracepoint event] block:block_bio_backmerge [Tracepoint event] block:block_getrq [Tracepoint event] ... ... As shown above, all of the tracepoint events are printed. In fact, the command's real intention is to print the events of tracepoint_foo. After this patch: $ perf list tracepoint_foo:* tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_enter [Tracepoint event] tracepoint_foo:tp_foo_exit [Tracepoint event] As shown above, only the events of tracepoint_foo are printed.
