In is_valid_tracepoint, rather than scanning
"/sys/kernel/tracing/events/*/*" skipping any path where
"/sys/kernel/tracing/events/*/*/id" doesn't exist, and then testing if
"*:*" matches the tracepoint name, just use the given tracepoint name
replace the ':' with '/' and see if the id file exists. This turns a
nested directory search into a single file available test.
Rather than return 1 for valid and 0 for invalid, return true and
false.

Off-topic. But it seems we don't release fncache entries.

Agreed it is weird. Going further off-topic it seems silly that we can
tell whether a tracepoint is present via its id, but we don't load the
id so that we can do things like pretty printing unless libtraceevent
is present:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/util/perf_event_attr_fprintf.c?h=perf-tools-next#n242
I think it would make sense to make the tracepoint PMU have
events/aliases and load them as a special case from
`/sys/kernel/tracing/events/`. Currently all the tracepoint event
logic is special because the only event name containing a colon is a
tracepoint - we don't allow `tracepoint/lock:contention_begin/` as an
event, which seems out of keeping. I think we could go pretty far with
what perf needs by supporting tracepoint events through the PMU and
removing as much "#ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT" as possible.
I mention this as it would make sense to have the name fncache be
related to the PMU in case PMUs come and go, as could happen with the
perf daemon.
Thanks,
Ian
