commit <249fad734a25> ""powerpc/perf: Disable trace_imc pmu" disables IMC(In-Memory Collection) trace-mode in kernel, since frequent mode switching between accumulation mode and trace mode via the spr LDBAR in the hardware can trigger a checkstop(system crash). Patch to re-enable imc-trace mode in kernel. The previous patch(1/2) in this series will address the mode switching issue by implementing a global lock, and will restrict the usage of accumulation and trace-mode at a time.
