perf tests: Fix complex event name parsing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The 'umask' event parameter is unsupported on some architectures like
powerpc64.

This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.

  # perf test "Parse event definition strings" -v

  Parse event definition strings: FAILED!

Committer testing:

After applying the patch these test passes and in verbose mode we get:

  # perf test -v "event definition"
