Further testing:

root@number:~# perf trace -e timer:hrtimer_start --filter='mode != HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED_WRONG'
"HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED_WRONG" not found for "mode" in "timer:hrtimer_start", can't set filter "(mode != HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_PINNED_WRONG) && (common_pid != 103306 && common_pid != 3476)"
root@number:~# 

Maybe we can list the possibilities, i.e. print all of 'enum
hrtimer_mode'

This can be on a followup patch, just recording the idea here.
