[PATCH V4 6/7] perf header: Support num and width of branch counters

From: kan . liang
Date: Wed Oct 04 2023 - 14:41:03 EST


From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To support the branch counters feature, the information of the maximum
number of supported counters and the width of the counters is exposed
in the sysfs caps folder. The perf tool can use the information to parse
the logged counters in each branch.

Store the information in the perf_env for later usage.
