PARAMETERIZED EVENTS
--------------------
Some pmu events listed by 'perf-list' will be displayed with '?' in them. For
example:
hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=?/
This means that when provided as an event, a value for '?' must
also be supplied. For example:
perf stat -C 0 -e 'hv_gpci/dtbp_ptitc,phys_processor_idx=0x2/' ...
