[PATCH 1/3] coresight: etm-perf: Add support for PID tracing for kernel at EL2

When the kernel is running at EL2, the PID is stored in CONTEXTIDR_EL2.
So, tracing CONTEXTIDR_EL1 doesn't give us the pid of the process.
Thus we should trace the VMID with VMIDOPT set to trace
CONTEXTIDR_EL2 instead of VMID. Given that we have an existing
config option "contextid" and this will be useful for tracing
virtual machines (when we get to support virtualization). So instead,
this patch adds a new option, contextid_in_vmid as a separate config.
Thus on an EL2 kernel, we will have two options available for
the perf tool. However, to make it easier for the user to
do pid tracing, we add a new format which will default to
"contextid" (on EL1 kernel) or "contextid_in_vmid" (on EL2
kernel). So that the user doesn't have to bother which EL the
kernel is running.

 i.e, perf record -e cs_etm/pid/u --

will always do the "pid" tracing, independent of the kernel EL.

Also, the perf tool will be updated to automatically select
"pid" config instead of the "contextid" for system wide/CPU wide
mode.
