Skylake changed the encoding of the PEBS data source field. Some combinations are not available anymore, but some new cases e.g. for L4 cache hit are added. Fix up the conversion table for Skylake, similar as had been done for Nehalem. On Skylake server the encoding for L4 actually means persistent memory. Handle this case too. To properly describe it in the abstracted perf format I had to add some new fields. Since a hit can have only one level add a new field that is an enumeration, not a bit field to describe the level. It can describe any level. Some numbers are also used to describe PMEM and LFB. Also add a new generic remote flag that can be combined with the generic level to signify a remote cache. And there is an extension field for the snoop indication to handle the Forward state. I didn't add a generic flag for hops because it's not needed for Skylake. I changed the existing encodings for older CPUs to also fill in the new level and remote fields.

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.
