Thanks!

That looks about right. Can you reset the branch to

     commit 85b61b265635 ("rseq: Expose stats")

which is just adding primitive stats on top of the current mainline
code, and provide numbers for that too?

That gives you 'notify: , cpuid:, fixup:' numbers, which are not 1:1
mappable to the final ones, but that should give some interesting
insight.

Might be useful to put such instructions into README.md, no?

Thanks,
