The perf tools cannot find the proper event list for the Cascadelake server. Because the Cascadelake server and the Skylake server have the same CPU model number, which are used by the perf tools to find the event list. The stepping for Skylake server is up to 4. The stepping for Cascadelake server starts from 5. The stepping can be used to distinguish between them. The stepping is added in get_cpuid_str(). The stepping information for Skylake server is updated in mapfile.csv. A x86 specific strcmp_cpuid_cmp() function is added to handle two CPUID formats in mapfile.csv, "vendor-family-model-stepping" and "vendor-family-model": - If a cpuid-regular-expression from the mapfile.csv using the new stepping format, a cpuid-string generated on the machine must include stepping. Otherwise, it is a mismatch. - If the cpuid-regular-expression using the old non-stepping format, the stepping in the cpuid-string will be ignored. The script, using environment string "PERF_CPUID" without stepping on Skylake server, will be broken. If so, users must fix their scripts.

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.
