Fair enough. The method should be a simple wrapper to libtraceevent APIs like this patch.
The pevent thing is per perf.data file, so I made it stop being static and become a perf_session member, so tools processing perf.data files use perf_session and _there_ we read the event into session->pevent and then have to change everywhere to stop using that single global pevent variable and use the per session one.
Dmitry, can you test the attached patch to check if it solves the problems you reported?
This looks good and works for my x86 <-> ARM tests.
Note that it _doesn't_ fall backs to trace__event_id, as we're not interested at all in what is present in the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events in the workstation doing the analysis, just in what is in the perf.data file.
Agree.
