Sorry that I let you repeated your comments again.

To be honest, I considered this after read your comment in the previous
series, but I thought it's possible that multiple CPUs have different
PID format, especially for big.LITTLE arch.  After read your suggestion
again, I think my concern is not valid, even for big.LITTLE, all CPUs
should run on the same kernel exception level.

So will follow up your suggestion to cache "pid_fmt".

I explained why I set both bits for ETM_OPT_CTXTID and ETM_OPT_CTXTID2
in the patch 05/07.  Could you take a look for it?
