Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Fix handling of wildcards in tracepoint event selectors

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

It wasn't accounting the ':' when consuming bytes in the the event
selector string, so parse_events() would fail in this test:

                if (!(*str == 0 || *str == ',' || isspace(*str)))
                        return -1;

as *str would be pointing to '*', the last character in the '-e' arg in:

$ perf record -q -a -D -e sched:sched_* | perf script -i - -s perf-script.py
