commit249fad734aupstream. When a root user or a user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN privilege uses any trace_imc performance monitoring unit events, to monitor application or KVM threads, it may result in a checkstop (System crash). The cause is frequent switching of the "trace/accumulation" mode of the In-Memory Collection hardware (LDBAR). This patch disables the trace_imc PMU unit entirely to avoid triggering the checkstop. A future patch will reenable it at a later stage once a workaround has been developed.

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.
