If a shorter string ends a longer string then the shorter string may reuse the longer string at an offset. For example, on x86 the event arith.cycles_div_busy and cycles_div_busy can be folded, even though they have difference names the strings are identical after 6 characters. cycles_div_busy can reuse the arith.cycles_div_busy string at an offset of 6. In pmu-events.c this looks like the following where the 'also:' lists folded strings: /* offset=177541 */ "arith.cycles_div_busy\000\000pipeline\000Cycles the divider is busy\000\000\000event=0x14,period=2000000,umask=0x1\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000" /* also: cycles_div_busy\000\000pipeline\000Cycles the divider is busy\000\000\000event=0x14,period=2000000,umask=0x1\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000 */ As jevents.py combines multiple strings for an event into a larger string, the amount of folding is minimal as all parts of the event must align. Other organizations can benefit more from folding, but lose space by say recording more offsets.
