Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] perf arm-spe: Support hardware-based PID tracing
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].
