I tested '.c' in middle of an event:

  # perf trace --event 'aaa.ccc'
  invalid or unsupported event: 'aaa.ccc'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...

It is not recongnized as a BPF source.

So could you please provide an example to show how
this potential bug breaks the parsing of new events?

What about putting '$' at the definition of bpf_xxx like this?

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.l b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.l

Thank you.
