of course.
As independent patch, I assume.
For both tools/include/uapi/...bpf.h and include/uapi/...bpf.h

It has some info:
/* BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output and BPF_FUNC_perf_event_read flags. */
#define BPF_F_INDEX_MASK                0xffffffffULL
#define BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU               BPF_F_INDEX_MASK

yet perf_event_read() is least documented. hmm.
 * u64 bpf_perf_event_read(&map, index)
 *     Return: Number events read or error code

that needs to be fixed.
