Subject: [PATCH V2 2/25] x86/cpu: Add helper functions to get parameters of hybrid CPUs

From: Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@...ux.intel.com>

On processors with Intel Hybrid Technology (i.e., one having more than one
type of CPU in the same package), all CPUs support the same instruction
set and enumerate the same features on CPUID. Thus, all software can run
on any CPU without restrictions. However, there may be model-specific
differences among types of CPUs. For instance, each type of CPU may support
a different number of performance counters. Also, machine check error banks
may be wired differently. Even though most software will not care about
these differences, kernel subsystems dealing with these differences must
know. Add a new member to cpuinfo_x86 that subsystems can query to know
the type of CPU.

Hybrid processors also have a native model ID to uniquely identify the
micro-architecture of each CPU. Please note that the native model ID is not
related with the existing x86_model_id read from CPUID leaf 0x1.

Add helper functions and definitions to get both the CPU type and the
combined CPU type and native model ID. Only expose get_hybrid_cpu_type().
The sole known use case (i.e., perf for hybrid processors) only wants to
know the type but not the model ID. get_hybrid_params() can be exposed in
the future if new use cases arise.

The Intel Software Developer's Manual defines the CPU type and the CPU
native model ID as 8-bit and 24-bit identifiers, respectively.

Changes since v1 (as part of patchset for perf change for Alderlake)
 * Removed cpuinfo_x86.x86_cpu_type. It can be added later if needed.
   Instead, implement helper functions that subsystems can use.(Boris)
 * Add definitions for Atom and Core CPU types. (Kan)

Changes since v1 (in a separate posting)
 * Simplify code by using cpuid_eax(). (Boris)
 * Reworded the commit message to clarify the concept of Intel Hybrid
   Technology. Stress that all CPUs can run the same instruction set
   and support the same features.
