This will allow writing formulas that are conditional on a specific
CPU type or CPU version. It calls through to the existing
strcmp_cpuid_str() function in Perf which has a default weak version,
and an arch specific version for x86 and arm64.
The function takes an 'ID' type value, which is a string. But in this
case Arm CPU IDs are hex numbers prefixed with '0x'. metric.py
assumes strings are only used by event names, and that they can't start
with a number ('0'), so an additional change has to be made to the
regex to convert hex numbers back to 'ID' types.

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.
