With the dynamic traceid allocation scheme in, we output the AUX_OUTPUT_HWID packet every time event->start() is called. This could cause too many such records in the perf.data, while only one per CPU throughout the life time of the event is required. Make sure we only output it once.
Before this patch: $ perf report -D | grep OUTPUT_HW_ID ... AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID events: 55 (18.3%)
After this patch:
$ perf report -D | grep OUTPUT_HW_ID ... AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID events: 5 ( 1.9%)

I had a look for somewhere that's only called once after the aux buffer is available to avoid the new tracking bit, but didn't find anywhere obvious. We can always move it later anyway.
