Athira Rajeev 0198322379 powerpc/perf: Don't use perf_hw_context for trace IMC PMU
Trace IMC (In-Memory collection counters) in powerpc is useful for
application level profiling.

For trace_imc, presently task context (task_ctx_nr) is set to
perf_hw_context. But perf_hw_context should only be used for CPU PMU.
See commit 2665784850 ("perf/core: Verify we have a single
perf_hw_context PMU").

So for trace_imc, even though it is per thread PMU, it is preferred to
use sw_context in order to be able to do application level monitoring.
Hence change the task_ctx_nr to use perf_sw_context.

README

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.
