commit ad53db4acb415976761d7302f5b02e97f2bd097e upstream.
The recent commit 76d588dddc45 ("powerpc/imc-pmu: Fix use of mutex in
IRQs disabled section") fixed warnings (and possible deadlocks) in the
IMC PMU driver by converting the locking to use spinlocks.
It also converted the init-time nest_init_lock to a spinlock, even
though it's not used at runtime in IRQ disabled sections or while
holding other spinlocks.
This leads to warnings such as:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/percpu-rwsem.h:49

Fix it by converting nest_init_lock back to a mutex, so that we can call
sleeping functions while holding it. There is no interaction between
nest_init_lock and the runtime spinlocks used by the actual PMU routines.

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.
