What is this fixing? Please state that, below I show what it is breaking
:-/

Before:

[root@jouet ~]# perf trace --no-syscalls -e ~acme/bpf/sys_read.c/max-stack=5/ sleep 1
bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
     0.000 perf_bpf_probe:func:(ffffffffbb2634e0))
                                       sys_read ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                       __read (/usr/lib64/ld-2.25.so)
                                       _dl_map_object (/usr/lib64/ld-2.25.so)

After:

[root@jouet ~]# perf trace --no-syscalls -e ~acme/bpf/sys_read.c/max-stack=5/ sleep 1
event syntax error: '/home/acme/bpf/sys_read.c/max-stack=5/'
                     \___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
    or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
    or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
    or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

    -e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[root@jouet ~]#
