Since commitbb30acae4c("perf report: Bail out --mem-mode if mem info is not available") "perf mem report" and "perf report --mem-mode" don't report result if the PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC bit is missed in sample type. The commitffab487052("perf: arm-spe: Fix perf report --mem-mode") partially fixes the issue. It adds PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC bit for Arm SPE event, this allows the perf data file generated by kernel v5.18-rc1 or later version can be reported properly. On the other hand, perf tool still fails to be backward compatibility for a data file recorded by an older version's perf which contains Arm SPE trace data. This patch is a workaround in reporting phase, when detects ARM SPE PMU event and without PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC bit, it will force to set the bit in the sample type and give a warning info.

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.
