You are right. raw_smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense here.

I'm not sure about this. I can see that removing the cpu_id field from
trace_cpu_idle() was discussed here [1] and it was decided to keep it.
There was no conclusion about removing it from
trace_clock_enable/disable though.

For now, I will resend the patch with raw_smp_processor_id().
