The PID of the task could be traced as VMID when the kernel is running
at EL2. Teach the decoder to look for VMID when the CONTEXTIDR (Arm32)
or CONTEXTIDR_EL1 (Arm64) is invalid but we have a valid VMID.

Is this something we can cache in this function ? e.g,
static u64 pid_fmt;

if (!pid_pfmt)
ret = cs_etm__get_pid_fmt(trace_chan_id, &pid_fmt);

As all the ETMs will be running at the same exception level.

Sorry that I let you repeated your comments again.

To be honest, I considered this after read your comment in the previous
series, but I thought it's possible that multiple CPUs have different
PID format, especially for big.LITTLE arch. After read your suggestion
again, I think my concern is not valid, even for big.LITTLE, all CPUs
should run on the same kernel exception level.

So will follow up your suggestion to cache "pid_fmt".

No problem.

I would rather fix the cs_etm__get_pid_fmt() to return either of these
as commented. i.e, ETM_OPT_CTXTID or ETM_OPT_CTXTID2. Thus we don't
need the this case.

I explained why I set both bits for ETM_OPT_CTXTID and ETM_OPT_CTXTID2
in the patch 05/07. Could you take a look for it?

I have responded to the comment in the patch.


With the above two addressed:
