[PATCH] perf evsel: Update the hint for the usage of the load latency event
Posted by kan.liang@linux.intel.com 3 years, 7 months ago
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

The current message is not providing enough information. It's hard for
a user to figure out what's the auxiliary event.

Adding the event name of the auxiliary event in the hint. The user can
simply cut & paste.
