To pick the changes in these csets:
cf264e1329 ("cachestat: implement cachestat syscall")
That add support for this new syscall in tools such as 'perf trace'.
For instance, this is now possible:
# perf trace -e cachestat
^C[root@five ~]#
# perf trace -v -e cachestat
Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 3163687 && common_pid != 3147) && (id == 451)
mmap size 528384B
^C[root@five ~]
# perf trace -v -e *stat* --max-events=10
Using CPUID AuthenticAMD-25-21-0
event qualifier tracepoint filter: (common_pid != 3163713 && common_pid != 3147) && (id == 4 || id == 5 || id == 6 || id == 136 || id == 137 || id == 138 || id == 262 || id == 332 || id == 451)

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 Restructured Text 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.
