These are different from those reported by perf.

Yes, I use trace-cmd.git master branch (currently built from
b530a23f0442be322b1717e6dbce2bd502634cb4).

My kernel is 2.6.34 based.

Here are the details along with my amateur comments on what might have gone wrong:

Macro expanded into C code that shouldn't have?

String literal concatenation not handled by parser?

kvm/kvm_exit: print fmt: "reason %s rip 0x%lx", ftrace_print_symbols_seq(p, REC->exit_reason, kvm_x86_ops->exit_reasons_str), REC->guest_rip

ftrace_print_symbols_seq() not implemented in trace-cmd?

There are four problem cases in scsi too:

  function scsi_trace_parse_cdb not defined
  failed to read event print fmt for scsi_dispatch_cmd_start
  function scsi_trace_parse_cdb not defined
  failed to read event print fmt for scsi_dispatch_cmd_error

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/scsi/scsi_dispatch_cmd_done/format:FORMAT TOO BIG
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/scsi/scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout/format:FORMAT TOO BIG
