Subject: [RFC 0/6] perf tools: Report event parsing errors

hi,
adding support to report error from event string parsing.

This patchset contains support for standard parsing errors
and more logic to recognize tracepoint and 'pmu//' terms,
like:

  $ perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
  invalid or unsupported event: 'sched:krava'
                                 \___ unknown tracepoint

  $ ./perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                                     \___ unknown term

  $ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
  invalid or unsupported event: '..es,cache-mises'
                                           \___ parser error

any feedback about the error string shape would be great ;-)

Changes are also reachable in here:

  perf/event_parse_error

thanks
