Applied, and also added this, that you should consider doing in the
future (modulo the "Committer testing:" header :) ):

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf record -e cycles:u
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.231 MB perf.data (91 samples) ]
  #
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1
  <SNIP>
  #

After:

  # perf record -e cycles:u
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.263 MB perf.data (403 samples) ]
  #
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:u: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, exclude_kernel: 1, exclude_hv: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1
  #

I.e. show actual command output before and after that demonstrates the
problem and then the solution.
