Reason being frequent switch of the "trace/accumulation" mode of In-Memory Collection hardware. This patch disables trace_imc pmu unit, but will be re-enabled at a later stage with a fix patchset. --- arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-imc.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-imc.c b/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-imc.c index e04b20625cb9..5790f078771f 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-imc.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/opal-imc.c @@ -285,7 +285,12 @@ static int opal_imc_counters_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) domain = IMC_DOMAIN_THREAD; break; case IMC_TYPE_TRACE: - domain = IMC_DOMAIN_TRACE; + /* Using trace_imc events to monitor + * application or KVM thread performances + * may result in a checkstop (system crash). + * So disabling it for now. + */ + domain = -1; break; default: pr_warn("IMC Unknown Device type \n"); -- 2.21.0
