There's Documentation/features/ which lists the status of architecture
support for various kernel options. I don't know of any other
documentation.

That doesn't have anything to do with something missing in ARM afaics.
It's probably because your perf wasn't built with libaudit. Information
is printed about this when you build perf. The fact that 'perf help'
lists unavailable commands is probably a bug.
~/dev/linux/tools/perf$ make
BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
config/Makefile:366: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev
