'perf script' fails to report hardware cache events (PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE)
where as 'perf report' shows the samples. Fix it. Ex,
# perf record -e L1-dcache-loads ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (11 samples)]
Before patch:
# perf script | wc -l
0
After patch:
# perf script | wc -l
11
Committer testing:
[root@jouet ~]# perf script | head -30 | tail

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.
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.
