When printing perf_event_attr, always display perf_event_attr type and its symbol
to improve the readability of debugging information.

Everything in this file syncs with perf_event.h, so the comment

OK, will fix in v3.

These 4 lines end up getting used again about 3 times in the next
patch, so might as well be a separate function e.g.
print_id(buf, size, value, stringify_perf_type_id(value));
where:
static void print_id(char *buf, size_t size, u64 value, const char *str)
{
if (str == NULL)
snprintf(buf, size, "%"PRIu64, value);
else
snprintf(buf, size, "%"PRIu64" (%s)", value, str);
}
OK, will add print_id() helper in v3.
If print_id() helper is also used to print config id, is printed in the decimal format. In the past, it is printed in the hexadecimal format，
there may be some changes here.
Before:
config 0x143
After:
config 323 (sched:sched_switch)
Right I didn't notice the difference. Best keep print_id() just for the hex cases.
v4 has been sent, print_id() helper is changed to a macro function to
support printing of both 'hex' and 'unsigned' formats.
Please see if it's OK.
Thanks,
Yang
