[ Upstream commitb20576fd7f] Raw events can be strings like 'r0xead' but the 0x is optional so they can also be 'read'. On IcelakeX uncore_imc_free_running has an event called 'read' which may be programmed as: ``` $ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1 ``` However, the PE_RAW type isn't allowed on the right of a term, even though in this case we just want to interpret it as a string. This leads to the following error on IcelakeX: ``` $ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1 event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/' \___ parser error 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 ``` Fix this by allowing raw types on the right of terms and treat them as strings, just as is already done for PE_LEGACY_CACHE. Make this consistent by just entirely removing name_or_legacy and always using name_or_raw that covers all three cases.

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.
