Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf: Document default event for perf record

The description of -e option was reformatted (unindented and enclosed
in an OpenBlock) in order to render the added line correctly.

 	Select the PMU event. Selection can be:
-
-        - a symbolic event name	(use 'perf list' to list all events)
-
-        - a raw PMU event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
-	  hexadecimal event descriptor.
-
-        - a hardware breakpoint event in the form of '\mem:addr[:access]'
-          where addr is the address in memory you want to break in.
-          Access is the memory access type (read, write, execute) it can
-          be passed as follows: '\mem:addr[:[r][w][x]]'.
-          If you want to profile read-write accesses in 0x1000, just set
-          'mem:0x1000:rw'.
