The issue also impacts the perf record and report as well.

#perf record true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (16 samples) ]

#perf report --header-only | grep event
# event : name = cpu_atom/cycles:P/, , id = { 7360, 7361, 7362, 7363,
7364, 7365, 7366, 7367, 7368, 7369 }, type = 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE),
size = 136, config = 0xa00000000, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 3000,
sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format = ID|LOST,
disabled = 1, inherit = 1, freq = 1, enable_on_exec = 1, precise_ip = 3,
sample_id_all = 1
# event : name = cpu_core/cycles:P/, , id = { 7370, 7371, 7372, 7373,
7374, 7375, 7376, 7377, 7378, 7379, 7380, 7381 }, type = 0
(PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE), size = 136, config = 0x400000000, { sample_period,
sample_freq } = 3000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER,
read_format = ID|LOST, disabled = 1, inherit = 1, freq = 1,
enable_on_exec = 1, precise_ip = 3, sample_id_all = 1

I think we should move all the modifiers after the "/". The below patch
can fix it.
