would be nice to also accept a plain cut & paste of an address in hexa
without the 0x prefix, i.e.:
$ perf record -e mem:ffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
plus perf stat gets surprised by this new event and prints 'unknown':
$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff81802000 D tasklist_lock
$ perf stat -a -e mem:0xffffffff81802000 sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
64 unknown
1.000833173 seconds time elapsed
