Kernel IBS driver wasn't using new PERF_MEM_* APIs due to some of its limitations. Mainly: 1. mem_lvl_num doesn't allow setting multiple sources whereas old API allows it. Setting multiple data sources is useful because IBS on pre-zen4 uarch doesn't provide fine granular DataSrc details (there is only one such DataSrc(2h) though). 2. perf mem sorting logic (sort__lvl_cmp()) ignores mem_lvl_num. perf c2c (c2c_decode_stats()) does not use mem_lvl_num at all. 1st one can be handled using ANY_CACHE with HOPS_0. 2nd is purely perf tool specific issue and should be fixed separately.

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.
