Thomas Richter 671b60cb6a perf ftrace: Fix access to pid in array when setting a pid filter
Command 'perf ftrace -v -- ls' fails in s390 (at least 5.12.0rc6).

The root cause is a missing pointer dereference which causes an
array element address to be used as PID.

Fix this by extracting the PID.

Output before:
  # ./perf ftrace -v -- ls
  function_graph tracer is used
  write '-263732416' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
  failed to set ftrace pid
  #

Output after:
   ./perf ftrace -v -- ls
   function_graph tracer is used
   # tracer: function_graph
   #
   # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
