merits a bookmark for anybody wanting to learn how to do interesting things
with perf.

There seems to be an older version of this text on the kernel.org perf counters wiki, at https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/articles/t/u/t/Tutorial.html. It might be worthwhile to clarify which is the canonical and up-to-date copy and ideally delete the duplicate.
