Prior to commit70c90e4a6b("perf parse-events: Avoid scanning PMUs before parsing") names (generally event names) excluded hyphen (minus) symbols as the formation of legacy names with hyphens was handled in the yacc code. That commit allowed hyphens supposedly making name_minus unnecessary. However, changing name_minus to name has issues in the term config tokens as then name ends up having priority over numbers and name allows matching numbers since commit5ceb57990b("perf parse: Allow tracepoint names to start with digits "). It is also permissable for a name to match with a colon (':') in it when its in a config term list. To address this rename name_minus to term_name, make the pattern match name's except for the colon, add number matching into the config term region with a higher priority than name matching. This addresses an inconsistency and allows greater matching for names inside of term lists, for example, they may start with a number. Rename name_tag to quoted_name and update comments and helper functions to avoid str detecting quoted strings which was already done by the lexer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
