[PATCH 02/85] perf data: Document memory topology header: HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Jun 11 2019 - 15:04:01 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

We forgot to update the perf.data file format document for the
HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY header, do it now from comments in the patch
introducing it.

+The format of data in MEM_TOPOLOGY is as follows:
