We specify that a "num_hex" comprises 1 or more digits, however, that
allows strtoull to fail with ERANGE. Limit the number of hex digits to
being between 1 and 16.
Before:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/rE7574c47490475745/' true
perf: util/parse-events.c:215: fix_raw: Assertion `errno == 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
```
After:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/rE7574c47490475745/' true
event syntax error: 'cpu/rE7574c47490475745/'
\___ Bad event or PMU
Unable to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'cpu'
Initial error:
event syntax error: 'cpu/rE7574c47490475745/'
\___ unknown term 'rE7574c47490475745' for pmu 'cpu'
valid terms: event,pc,edge,offcore_rsp,ldlat,inv,umask,frontend,cmask,config,config1,config2,config3,name,period,percore,metric-id
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
