Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] perf arm-spe: Support hardware-based PID tracing
Date:   Tue,  9 Nov 2021 11:50:20 +0000
Message-Id: <20211109115020.31623-5-german.gomez@arm.com>

If Arm SPE traces contain CONTEXT packets with TID info, use these
values for tracking tid of samples. Otherwise fall back to using context
switch events and display a message warning the user of possible timing
inaccuracies [1].
