These are ABI constants so maybe simpler:
const char *fixed_types[] = {"HARDWARE", "SOFTWARE", "TRACEPOINT",
"HW_CACHE", "RAW", "BREAKPOINT"};
if (value < ARRAY_SIZE(fixed_types)) {
snprintf(buf, size, "%"PRIu64" (PERF_TYPE_%s)",
value, fixed_types[value]);
} else {
snprintf(buf, size, "%"PRIu64, value);
}
Although it is really the repeated snprintf that seems unnecessary
so maybe use a switch but just to get the stringified name.
