Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] perf arm-spe: Introduce metadata version 2

This patch series enhances Arm SPE metadata in the Perf file to a
version 2 format and maintains backward compatibility for metadata v1.

The version 2 metadata contains a global structure with fields for
metadata header version number, header size, CPU numbers. It also
expands to store per-CPU metadata, which includes the CPU logical
number in the kernel, MIDR, and capacity values associated with Arm SPE.

This patch set has been tested the perf to decode the Arm SPE metadata
v1 and v2.

Changes from v1:
- Dropped LDS bit exposing from Arm SPE driver (Will Deacon).
- To simplify the change, this series did not include multiple AUX event
  support.


Leo Yan (5):
  perf arm-spe: Define metadata header version 2
  perf arm-spe: Calculate meta data size
  perf arm-spe: Save per CPU information in metadata
  perf arm-spe: Support metadata version 2
  perf arm-spe: Dump metadata with version 2
