Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf arm-spe: Track pid/tid for Arm SPE samples

The following patchset is an iteration on RFC [1] where pid/tid info is
assigned to the Arm SPE synthesized samples. Two methods of tracking
pids are considered: hardware-based (using Arm SPE CONTEXT packets), and
context-switch events (from perf) as fallback.

- Patch #1 enables pid tracking using RECORD_SWITCH* events from perf.
- Patch #2 saves the value of SPE CONTEXT packet to the arm_spe_record
  struct (patch from [2]).
- Patch #3 enables hardware-based pid tracking using SPE CONTEXT packets.
