Subject: [PATCH v4 00/12] perf c2c: Support display for Arm64

Arm64 Neoverse CPUs supports data source in Arm SPE trace, this allows
us to detect cache line contention and transfers.

This patch set is based on Ali Said's patch set v9 "perf: arm-spe: Decode SPE
source and use for perf c2c" [1] and Ali's patch set doesn't need any
change in this new round.

To clearly show peer loads and express the local peer loads and remote
peer lodes, this patch introduces three new metrics 'lcl_peer',
'rmt_peer' and 'tot_peer'.  The display 'peer' mode uses metric
'tot_peer' for sorting cache lines.

Patches 01-05 adds statistics for memory samples, and add dimensions for
peer metrics.

Patches 06-09 are for refactoring, it refines the code with more general
naming so this can allow us to easier to extend display modes but not
strictly bound to HITM tags.

Patches 10-11 are to extend display 'peer' mode, and also changes to use
'peer' mode as default mode for Arm64 arches.

Patch 12 updates document to describe the new dimensions for peer
metrics.

This patch set has been verified for both x86 and Arm64 memory samples.

Known issues:  Joe reminded there have an issue in patch set v3 that the
cache line metric shows 'N/A' for node, this is because Arm SPE trace
data doesn't contain physical address and leads to perf c2c tool fails
to find matched node range if physical address is zero.  This issue is
addressed in a separte patch [2].  Since I am still using the old
perf data file (I have no Neoverse platforms), the output result still
shows the Node field is 'N/A'.

Another thing is we need to enhance data source setting for old Arm
platforms.  As discussed, German would follow up this task later.

The latest patch set has been uploaded on the git server [3].

Changes from v3:
* Changed to display remote and local peer accesses (Joe);
* Fixed the usage info for display types (Joe);
* Do not display HITM dimensions when use 'peer' display, and HITM
  display doesn't show any 'peer' dimensions (James);
* Split to smaller patches for adding dimensions of peer operations;
* Updated documentation to reflect the latest GUI and stdio.

Changes from v2:
* Updated patch 04 to account metrics for both cache level and ld_peer
  for PEER flag;
* Updated document for metric 'rmt_hit' which is accounted for all
  remote accesses (include remote DRAM and any upward caches).

Changes from v1:
* Updated patches 01, 02 and 03 to support 'N/A' metrics for store
  operations, so can align with the patch set [1] for store samples.
