    Subject[PATCH v20 12/20] perf, tools: Support long descriptions with perf list
    Date
    Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some
    events have in the event list completely. This patch makes them appear with
    perf list.

    Old perf list:

    baclears:
    baclears.all
    [Counts the number of baclears]

    vs new:

    perf list -v:
    ...
    baclears:
    baclears.all
    [The BACLEARS event counts the number of times the front end is
    resteered, mainly when the Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide
    a correct prediction and this is corrected by the Branch Address
    Calculator at the front end. The BACLEARS.ANY event counts the
    number of baclears for any type of branch]

    parameter to new print_pmu_events() call site.
