[RFC PATCH v2 1/4] perf: Read cache instance ID when building cache topology

From: K Prateek Nayak
Date: Wed Apr 05 2023 - 13:11:16 EST


CPU cache level data currently stores cache level, type, line size,
associativity, sets, total cache size, and the CPUs sharing the cache.
Also read and store the cache instance ID from
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/indexY/id" in the cache level data
on kernels where the file exits. If the file does not exist, id will be
set to 0.

o v1->v2
- Handle case where the cache instance ID might not be exposed so perf
can continue to work on older kernels.
