Subject: [PATCH] drivers/perf: Enable PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR with SPE
Date:   Mon, 30 Nov 2020 18:24:54 +0200

Enable PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR by default when Arm SPE is enabled.
This flag is required to get PID data in the SPE trace. Without
it the perf tool will report 0 for PID which isn't very useful,
especially when doing system wide profiling or profiling
applications that fork.

There is a small performance overhead when enabling
PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR, but SPE itself is optional and not enabled by
default so the impact is minimised.
