commit25d387287cupstream. Commit3fe3331bb2("perf/x86/amd: Add event map for AMD Family 17h"), claimed L2 misses were unsupported, due to them not being found in its referenced documentation, whose link has now moved [1]. That old documentation listed PMCx064 unit mask bit 3 as: "LsRdBlkC: LS Read Block C S L X Change to X Miss." and bit 0 as: "IcFillMiss: IC Fill Miss" We now have new public documentation [2] with improved descriptions, that clearly indicate what events those unit mask bits represent: Bit 3 now clearly states: "LsRdBlkC: Data Cache Req Miss in L2 (all types)" and bit 0 is: "IcFillMiss: Instruction Cache Req Miss in L2." So we can now add support for L2 misses in perf's genericised events as PMCx064 with both the above unit masks.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
