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.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
