perf list: Allow filtering list of events
The man page has the details, here are some examples:
[root@emilia ~]# perf list *fault* *:*wait*
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
page-faults OR faults [Software event]
minor-faults [Software event]
major-faults [Software event]
alignment-faults [Software event]
emulation-faults [Software event]
radeon:radeon_fence_wait_begin [Tracepoint event]

writeback:wbc_writeback_wait [Tracepoint event]
writeback:wbc_balance_dirty_wait [Tracepoint event]
writeback:writeback_congestion_wait [Tracepoint event]
writeback:writeback_wait_iff_congested [Tracepoint event]
sched:sched_wait_task [Tracepoint event]
sched:sched_process_wait [Tracepoint event]
sched:sched_stat_wait [Tracepoint event]
