we need global topology information in perf.data and use
the mapping from there, we can't use current server info

we currently store core_siblings_list and thread_siblings_list,
in topology FEATURE, which is probably not enough

I think we need new feature that stores topology info and
new interface that will provide all useful mappings:
  idx -> cpu
  cpu -> core
  cpu -> socket
  cpu -> node

in another patchset I used new CPUMAP event:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git/commit/?h=perf/stat_script_3&id=37b7b8449aa23acdfe9dec5a7a371e91c5323da5

we might need both ways (new FEATURE and event) to support pipe reports
