Here we should avoid to write pid '-1' with machine__set_current_tid(). The function arm_spe_set_tid() is invoked when SPE trace data contains context packet and it passes pid coming from the context packet. On the other hand, when SPE trace data doesn't contain context packet, we relies on context switch event to set pid value. So if we pass pid '-1' in arm_spe_set_tid(), it will overwrite the pid value which has been set by context switch event. Simply say, if SPE trace data contains context packet with valid pid, perf invokes arm_spe_set_tid() to set the pid value. Otherwise, it should skip this operation and roll back to use the pid value from the context switch event. Thanks, Leo
