IMC(In-memory Collection Counters) does performance monitoring in two different modes, i.e accumulation mode(core-imc and thread-imc events), and trace mode(trace-imc events). A cpu thread can either be in accumulation-mode or trace-mode at a time and this is done via the LDBAR register in POWER architecture. The current design does not address the races between thread-imc and trace-imc events. Patch implements a global id and lock to avoid the races between core, trace and thread imc events. With this global id-lock implementation, the system can either run core, thread or trace imc events at a time. i.e. to run any core-imc events, thread/trace imc events should not be enabled/monitored.
