/sys/devices/system/cpu contains incorrect information for Intel big.LITTLE CPUs

Repro Steps

The command below loops over all CPU cores and prints the sizes of the CPU's L1 data cache (per core).

for i in {0..64}; do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cache/index0/size 2>/dev/null; done | sort | uniq

Expected Behavior

For recent Intel big.LITTLE CPUs (>= 12th Gen, Alder Lake) this should print 32 KiB for the L1 data cache size of the efficiency CPU cores and 48 KiB for the L1 data cache size of the performance CPU cores.

for i in {0..64}; do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cache/index0/size 2>/dev/null; done | sort | uniq
32 KiB
48 KiB

Actual Behavior

The command below only prints 48 KiB for the L1 data cache size of the performance CPU cores.

for i in {0..64}; do cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/cache/index0/size 2>/dev/null; done | sort | uniq
48 KiB

Hence /sys/devices/system/cpu currently only contains information about the performance CPU cores and all information about the efficiency CPU cores is missing. Why does this matter? Because most CPU information libraries like e.g. pytorch/cpuinfo & open-mpi/hwloc rely on this CPU info and other programs depending on these libraries use this CPU information for runtime tuning to achieve the best performance for the user's CPU.
