The perf.data-file-format documentation incorrectly says the
HEADER_TOTAL_MEM results are in bytes. The results are in kilobytes
(perf reads the value from /proc/meminfo)

With the new CPUID.1F, a new level type of CPU topology, 'die', is
introduced. The 'die' information in CPU topology should be added in
perf header.
To be compatible with old perf.data, the patch checks the section size
before reading the die information. The new info is added at the end of
the cpu_topology section, the old perf tool ignores the extra data. It
never reads data crossing the section boundary.
The new perf tool with the patch can be used on legacy kernel. Add a new
function has_die_topology() to check if die topology information is
supported by kernel. The function only check X86 and CPU 0. Assuming
other CPUs have same topology.
Use similar method for core and socket to support die id and sibling
dies string.

perf report/script/... have a --time option to limit the time range of
output. That's very useful to slice large traces, e.g. when processing
the output of perf script for some analysis.
But right now --time only supports absolute time. Also there is no fast
way to get the start/end times of a given trace except for looking at
it. This makes it hard to e.g. only decode the first half of the trace,
which is useful for parallelization of scripts
Another problem is that perf records are variable size and there is no
synchronization mechanism. So the only way to find the last sample
reliably would be to walk all samples. But we want to avoid that in perf
report/... because it is already quite expensive. That is why storing
the first sample time and last sample time in perf record is better.
This patch creates a new header feature type HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME and
related ops. Save the first sample time and the last sample time to the
feature section in perf file header. That will be done when, for
instance, processing build-ids, where we already have to process all
samples to create the build-id table, take advantage of that to further
amortize that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make 'perf
report/script' faster when using --time.
Committer testing:
After this patch is applied the header is written with zeroes, we need
the next patch, for "perf record" to actually write the timestamps:
# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE\(
22501155244406 0x44f0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21be8c5 period: 1 addr: 0
<SNIP>
22501155793625 0x4a30 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 25016/25016: 0xffffffffa21ffd50 period: 2828043 addr: 0
# perf report --header | grep "time of "
# time of first sample : 0.000000
# time of last sample : 0.000000
#
Changelog:
v7: 1. Rebase to latest perf/core branch.
2. Add following clarification in patch description according to
Arnaldo's suggestion.
"That will be done when, for instance, processing build-ids,
where we already have to process all samples to create the
build-id table, take advantage of that to further amortize
that processing by storing HEADER_SAMPLE_TIME to make
'perf report/script' faster when using --time."
v4: Use perf script time style for timestamp printing. Also add with
the printing of sample duration.
v3: Remove the definitions of first_sample_time/last_sample_time from
perf_session. Just define them in perf_evlist
