Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] perf header: Support HYBRID_TOPOLOGY and HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS

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 HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS feature in perf header is created to
support multiple cpu pmus.

v4:
---
- Only minor update in '[PATCH v4 2/2] perf header: Support HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS feature'.
  1. Directly return process_per_cpu_pmu_caps() in process_cpu_pmu_caps.
     Remove the variable 'ret'.
  2. Set 'ret = -1' if (!n->pmu_name) in process_hybrid_cpu_pmu_caps().

v3:
---
- For "[PATCH v3 1/2] perf header: Support HYBRID_TOPOLOGY feature",
  update HEADER_HYBRID_TOPOLOGY format in perf.data-file-format.txt.

- For "[PATCH v3 2/2] perf header: Support HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS feature",
  Don't extend the original CPU_PMU_CAPS to support hybrid cpu pmus.
  Instead, create a new feature 'HYBRID_CPU_PMU_CAPS' in header.

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.
