Like this?

name: 'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM', type: 4, size: 112, config: 0x100003c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 3500000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, pinned: 1, exclude_hv: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

Thanks,
Alexey
