[PATCHv2 1/2] perf tools: Collect tracing event data files directly

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Sep 26 2011 - 05:12:32 EST


Changing the way the event files are searched by quering specified
event files directly, instead of walking the events directory.

Hopefully this way is more straightforward and faster.
