Subject: [PATCH v1] perf cs-etm: Pass -1 as pid value for machine__set_current_tid()
Currently, cs-etm passes the tid value for both tid and pid parameters
when calling machine__set_current_tid(), this can lead to confusion for
thread handling. E.g. we arbitrarily pass the same value for pid and
tid, perf tool will be misled to consider it is a main thread (see
thread__main_thread()).
On the other hand, Perf tool only can retrieve tid from Arm CoreSight
context packet, and we have no chance to know pid (it maps to kernel's
task_struct::tgid) from hardware tracing data. For this reason, this
patch passes -1 as pid for function machine__set_current_tid().
