Hi Jin,

that commit breaks parsing of things like ','. See fixes in this patch
set such as:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200422220430.254014-5-irogers@google.com/
Fixing the lex issues then exposes other bugs that need to be
corrected in the json. I've added Fixes to the commit message of:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200422220430.254014-3-irogers@google.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200422220430.254014-4-irogers@google.com/
and would be glad of a review. If we can land:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200422220430.254014-12-irogers@google.com/
then expr as the source of parse errors can go away :-) The next
problem is the parse events code, but some of that logic is dependent
on the machine it is running on. It'd be good to add a test that
parsed events code can handle the events in metrics too, filtering out
things like duration_time that are special to metrics.

Thanks,
Ian
