Try adding PARSER_DEBUG=1 to your command line, I need to do the following:
```
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wno-error=redundant-decls" PARSER_DEBUG=1
```
For your example it seems to parse with the changes, but I see (which
should be expected):
```
event syntax error: '9p:9p_fid_ref'
                    \___ unknown tracepoint

Error:  File /sys/kernel/tracing//events/9p/9p_fid_ref not found.
Hint:   Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

   -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list
available events
```
I think Jiri's e-mail should be jolsa@...nel.org.

Thanks,
Ian
