This patchset enabled RLS mode to mark Load/Store instructions to save the memory hierarchy level (eg: L2, L3) for cache reload. Event used here to sample is "marked instruction complete". This patchset exports the hierarchy information to the user via the perf_mem_data_src object. Patchset is based on and derived from Sukadev Bhattiprolu work[1]. It exports the memory hierarchy information only to Power8 processor based system, since similiar event or modes are not supported in Power7 [1]:https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/15/858 perf interface sample.
