A more compact alternative that uses .. to delimit ranges (start and/or
stop), like git does for changeset ranges and @ to determine where to
enable the event:

perf record -e instructions@irq:irq_handler_entry..irq:irq_handler_exit \
perf bench sched messaging

event-A at-range event-B to event-C

open ended ranges being possible as well, i.e. start counting when
event-B triggers and stop only when the workload finishes, or count from
workload start till event-C triggers.

$ perf record -e instructions@irq:softirq_entry..irq:softirq_exit \
-e instructions@irq:softirq_exit..irq:softirq_entry \
-e instructions \
perf bench sched messaging
