Errrr... I get no VMID= ... it's all

Idx:563008; ID:12;	I_ADDR_CTXT_L_64IS0 : Address & Context, Long, 64 
bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000AAAAE4B00A60; Ctxt: AArch64,EL0, NS; CID=0x00004aff;

are you using containers or something? because:

             if(context.updated_c)
             {
                 oss << "CID=0x" << std::hex << std::setfill('0') << 
std::setw(8) << context.ctxtID << "; ";
             }
             if(context.updated_v)
             {
                 oss << "VMID=0x" << std::hex << std::setfill('0') << 
std::setw(4) << context.VMID << "; ";
             }

I'm running without any containers etc. - bare metal. Haven't bothered 
with any VM stuff.

In OpenOCD the CID should be the the pid/thread id. It seems to not be 
the same thing as VMID. I haven't traced this beyond here as to exactly 
what this represents though my first reaction is "This is extra VM info 
and not the PID/TID being looked for". OpenOCD is full of tests with log 
dumps that produce CID and VMID:

Idx:1676; ID:10;        I_ADDR_CTXT_L_64IS0 : Address & Context, Long, 
64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0xFFFFFFC000096A00; Ctxt: AArch64,EL1, NS; 
CID=0x00000000; VMID=0x0000;

A quick git grep CID= in OpenCD will show them all. My understanding is 
CID is the thread/process ID and thus the test/check "Do we get reported 
data from all threads? - anything?".

I don't think using VMID is right. The fact you are missing a CID is an 
issue though...
