    The 'umask' event parameter is unsupported on some architectures like
    powerpc64.
    
    This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
    below.
    
      # perf test "Parse event definition strings" -v

    Committer testing:
    
    After applying the patch these test passes and in verbose mode we get:
    
      # perf test -v "event definition"
