Let me look for a CLX for testing, but maybe need some time.

BTW, suppose this patchset can work well, does it mean we will change 
the json file format in future?

For example,

before:
cha@...nt\\=0x36\\\\\\

after:
cha@...nt\\=0x36\\

"\\\\" are removed.

If so, we need to change our event generation script.

Thanks
