[PATCH v1 0/9] perf arm-spe: Introduce metadata version 2

[Leo Yan <leo.yan@arm.com>]

This patch series enhances Arm SPE metadata in the Perf file to a
version 2 format.

The version 2 metadata contains a global structure with fields for CPU
numbers and the metadata version number. 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 set exposes a new sysfs node, ‘lds’ (Load Data Source), which
indicates if the Arm SPE supports data source packets. This flag will be
used to decide if the data source packet needs to be decoded during the
report phase, which will be sent out in a separate series for data
source decoding refactoring.

This patch series need to be applied on the top of the changes:
