Event aliasing for events whose name in the form foo-bar-baz is not
supported, while foo-bar, foo_bar_baz, and other combinations are, i.e.
two hyphens are not supported.
The HiSilicon D06 platform has events in such form:
$ ./perf list sdir-home-migrate
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
uncore hha:
sdir-home-migrate
[Unit: hisi_sccl,hha]
$ sudo ./perf stat -e sdir-home-migrate
event syntax error: 'sdir-home-migrate'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event>event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
To support, add an extra PMU event symbol type for "baz", and add a new
rule in the bison file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
