The patch looks good to me. One minor suggestion below

Given we do this same step twice here in this function and also in patch 2.
I am wondering if this could be made into a small helper function ?

static u64 cs_etm_pmu_format_pid(cs_etm_pm)
{
	pid_fmt = perf_pmu__format_bits(&cs_etm_pmu->format, "pid");
	/*
	 * An older kernel doesn't expose this, so fall back to using
	 * CTXTID.
	 */
	if (!pid_fmt)
		pid_fmt = 1ULL << ETM_OPT_CTXTID;
	return pid_fmt;
}
