Right, in this case 'perf trace -e' doesn't behave like -e in other
tools, which is unfortunate and should be fixed at some point.

the point here is not to add any new patch for perf trace, etc, but find
a way to fix just this test, so I think this works:

# evts=$(echo $(perf list syscalls:sys_enter_open* |& egrep 'open(at)? ' | sed -r 's/.*sys_enter_([a-z]+) +\[.*$/\1/') | sed 's/ /,/')
# echo $evts
open,openat
[root@jouet ~]#

I'll work on a 'perf list -x,'  that will print all events matching as a
CSV with the informed delimiter, seems handy :-)

So the patch below does the trick for me, can you please check if does
for you?

With regards to the other patches, please consider submitting them in
separate messages, stating their purpose in a commit log, with example
usage, etc. Then people will be able to review it on its own.

Running it here I get:

[root@jouet perf]# sh -x tools/perf/tests/shell/trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh 
++ dirname tools/perf/tests/shell/trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh

++ perf probe -l

+ perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string'
Added new event:
  probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1

+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ trace_open_vfs_getname
++ uname -m
