I think I found the issue, could you please check following patch?

and wrt Andi's concern about wrong error message,
now if you make typo in your bpf file it says:

	[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf stat -e krava.c// sleep 1 
	event syntax error: 'krava.c//'
			     \___ Cannot find PMU `krava.c'. Missing kernel support?
	Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
	...

looks sane enough.. ;-)

thanks,
jirka
