'ctxid_val' array was used to store the value of ETM context ID comparator
which actually stores the process ID to be traced, so using 'ctxid_pid' as
its name instead make it easier to understand.

This patch also changes the ABI, it is normally not allowed, but
fortunately it is a testing ABI and very new for now. Nevertheless,
if you don't think it should be changed, we could always add an alias
for userspace.

Coresight tracers only support contextID tracing.  The HW
automatically does the match between the contextID comparator register
in the tracer with the contextID register of the core.  Tracing is
enabled if both values match (and the tracer is configured to do so).

I'm not saying your idea is unacceptable - I actually think there is
value in it.  At this time the scheduler will automatically write the
PID to the contextID register when a task is running, a reality this
feature is exploiting.

There is no limitation as to what can be written to the coresight
contextID register - tracing will start for as long as the values and
mask are configured properly.  I do not know the limitation imposed on
the core's contextID register (if any). We'd also have to make sure
that all the code, everywhere, relying on that information has been
modified to take into account the new semantic.
