Subject: [PATCH 3.4 53/99] perf tools: Fix cache event name generation

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>

commit 275ef3878f698941353780440fec6926107a320b upstream.

If the event name is specified with all 3 components, the last one
overwrites the previous one during the name composing within the
parse_events_add_cache function.

Fixing this by properly adjusting the string index.
