Currently, hardirqs use tid as key to store information while tracepoint irq_handler_entry. It works fine if irq is triggered while normal task running, but there is a chance causing overwrite issue while irq is triggered while idle task (a.k.a swapper/x, tid=0) running on multi-core system. Let's say there are two irq event trigger simultaneously on both CPU core, irq A @ core #0, irq B @ core #1, and system load is pretty light, so BPF program will get tid=0 since current task is swapper/x for both cpu core. In this case, the information of first irq event stored in map could be overwritten by incoming second irq event. Use tid and cpu_id together to make sure the key is unique for each event in this corner case. Please check more detail at merge request iovisor#2804, iovisor#3733.
