Re: [PATCH v1 0/3] arm64: Support Cortex-X4 CPU for Perf Arm SPE

Hi Leo,

This series support Cortex-X4 CPU in Perf Arm SPE.

The Arm64 and tools both include the header cputype.h for CPU part and
MIDR definitions, to de-couple between the tools and the kernel, the
tools doesn't directly use the kernel's header, alternatively, the tools
maintain a copy and sync with kernel's header.

To keep the exact same content between kernel and tools' headers, this
series firstly adds Cortex-X4 CPU part and MIDR definitions in the
kernel header; then the second patch syncs the change into the tools'
header.  The first patch is to support the Cortex-X4 in perf Arm SPE
with the new CPU definitions.

I don't have Cortex-X4 machine in hand, so just verified with
compilation perf tool.

This looks good to me, but can we add the other cores that operate the
same way now too? Flipping through the TRMs A78, X3, V2, X1, A715,
A720, and A78C all have the same encodings.
