What's old is new again?

root@...ny-jessie4:~# uname -a
Linux kenny-jessie4 4.11.0-rc8+ #258 SMP Thu Apr 27 08:36:06 PDT 2017
x86_64 GNU/Linux

root@...ny-jessie4:~# perf list | grep syscalls
  raw_syscalls:sys_enter                             [Tracepoint event]
  raw_syscalls:sys_exit                              [Tracepoint event]


Is an option needed to enable syscalls vs raw_syscalls?
