[PATCH v2 0/3] perf header: Support HYBRID_TOPOLOGY and hybrid CPU_PMU_CAPS

From: Jin Yao

AlderLake uses a hybrid architecture utilizing Golden Cove cores
(core cpu) and Gracemont cores (atom cpu). It would be useful to let user
know the hybrid topology, the HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature in header indicates
which cpus are core cpus, and which cpus are atom cpus.

On hybrid platform, it may have several cpu pmus, such as, "cpu_core" and
"cpu_atom". The CPU_PMU_CAPS feature in perf header is improved to support
multiple cpu pmus.

v2:
---
- In "perf header: Support HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature", don't use the n->map
to print the cpu list, just use n->cpus.

- Separate hybrid CPU_PMU_CAPS support into two patches:
perf header: Write hybrid CPU_PMU_CAPS
perf header: Process hybrid CPU_PMU_CAPS

- Add some words to perf.data-file-format.txt for HYBRID_TOPOLOGY and
hybrid CPU_PMU_CAPS.
