On my system, perf list is very slow to print the whole events. I think
there's a performance issue in SDT and uprobes event listing. I noticed
this issue while running perf test on x86 but it takes long to check
some CoreSight event which should be skipped quickly.
Anyway, some test uses perf list to check whether the required event is
available before running the test. The perf list command can take an
argument to specify event class or (glob) pattern. But glob pattern is
only to suppress output for unmatched ones after checking all events.
In this case, specifying event class is better to reduce the number of
events it checks and to avoid buggy subsystems entirely.
No functional changes intended.
