perf stat: Setup the foundation to allow aggregation based on cache topology



Processors based on chiplet architecture, such as AMD EPYC and Hygon do
not expose the chiplet details in the sysfs CPU topology information.
However, this information can be derived from the per CPU cache level
information from the sysfs.

'perf stat' has already supported aggregation based on topology
information using core ID, socket ID, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate
based on the cache topology to detect problems like imbalance and
cache-to-cache sharing at various cache levels.

This patch lays the foundation for aggregating data in 'perf stat' based
on the processor's cache topology. The cmdline option to aggregate data
based on the cache topology is added in Patch 4 of the series while this
patch sets up all the necessary functions and variables required to
support the new aggregation option.

The patch also adds support to display per-cache aggregation, or save it
as a JSON or CSV, as splitting it into a separate patch would break
builds when compiling with "-Werror=switch-enum" where the compiler will
complain about the lack of handling for the AGGR_CACHE case in the
output functions.

Committer notes:

Don't use perf_stat_config in tools/perf/util/cpumap.c, this would make
code that is in util/, thus not really specific to a single builtin, use
a specific builtin config structure.

Move the functions introduced in this patch from
tools/perf/util/cpumap.c since it needs access to builtin specific
and is not strictly needed to live in the util/ directory.

With this 'perf test python' is back building.
