The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
member[1][2], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in
case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will
help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this
change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member conversions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

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.

Add the numa_topology object to return the list of numa nodes together
with their cpus. It will replace the numa code in header.c and will be
used from 'perf record' in the following patches.
Add the following interface functions to load numa details:
struct numa_topology *numa_topology__new(void);
void numa_topology__delete(struct numa_topology *tp);
And replace the current (copied) local interface, with no functional
changes.

Make struct cpu_topo global and rename it to 'struct cpu_topology', so
that it can be used from the 'perf record' command in the following
patches.
Add the following interface functions to load/free cpu topology details:
struct cpu_topology *cpu_topology__new(void);
void cpu_topology__delete(struct cpu_topology *tp);
Move it to a separate source file cputopo.c together with numa related
object in the following patches.
No functional change, the new interface will be used in upcoming changes.
