I don't think what you proposed makes sense, putting 3.4MB[1] of changing blob into perf. I'll resubmit the JSON parser without the downloader. Then users have the option to get their own events and use that. If you don't like that, standard perf just has to stay with limited events and rXXXX as before, with users having to use external tools or libraries for names for more events[2][3]. -Andi [1] Current size of https://download.01.org/perfmon/ [2] ocperf in https://github.com/andikleen/pmu-tools [3] http://perfmon2.sourceforge.net/ -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only.
