perf list expects CPU events to be parseable by name, e.g.
# perf list | grep el-capacity-read
el-capacity-read OR cpu/el-capacity-read/ [Kernel PMU event]
But the event parser does not recognize them that way, e.g.
# perf test -v "Parse event"

Parse event definition strings: FAILED!
This happens because the parser splits names by '-' in order to deal
with cache events. For example 'L1-dcache' is a token in
parse-events.l which is matched to 'L1-dcache-load-miss' by the
following rule:
PE_NAME_CACHE_TYPE '-' PE_NAME_CACHE_OP_RESULT '-' PE_NAME_CACHE_OP_RESULT opt_event_config
And so there is special handling for 2-part PMU names i.e.
PE_PMU_EVENT_PRE '-' PE_PMU_EVENT_SUF sep_dc
but no handling for 3-part names, which are instead added as tokens e.g.
topdown-[a-z-]+
While it would be possible to add a rule for 3-part names, that would
not work if the first parts were also a valid PMU name e.g.
'el-capacity-read' would be matched to 'el-capacity' before the parser
reached the 3rd part.
The parser would need significant change to rationalize all this, so
instead fix for now by adding missing Intel CPU events with 3-part names
to the event parser as tokens.
Missing events were found by using:
grep -r EVENT_ATTR_STR arch/x86/events/intel/core.c
