Jin Yao reported parser error for software event:
# perf stat -e software/r1a/ -a -- sleep 1
event syntax error: 'software/r1a/'
\___ parser error
This happens after commit 8c3b1ba0e7 ("drm/i915/gt: Track the
overall awake/busy time"), where new software-gt-awake-time event's
non-pmu-event-style makes event parser conflict with software PMU.
If we allow PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE to be parsed as PMU name, we fix the
conflict and the following character '/' for PMU or '-' for
non-pmu-event-style event allows parser to decide what even is
specified.
Fixes: 8c3b1ba0e7 ("drm/i915/gt: Track the overall awake/busy time")

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.
