That's pointless.

will do the right thing.

and kfree can be called with a NULL pointer.

Interesting. You copied the other function and then implemented it
differently.

But, what's worse is that this is just duplicated code for no value. Both
the nest and core control functions call

    opal_imc_counters_xxxx(WHICH_COUNTER);

So the obvious thing to do is:

static struct cpumask imc_result_mask;
static DEFINE_MUTEX(imc_control_mutex);

static void opal_imc_XXX(void *which)
{
	if (opal_imc_counters_XXX((unsigned long) which))
		cpumask_set_cpu(smp_processor_id(), &imc_result_mask);
}

static int imc_control(unsigned long which, bool start)
{
	smp_call_func_t *fn;
	int res;

	mutex_lock(&imc_control_mutex);
	memset(&imc_result_mask, 0, sizeof(imc_result_mask));
	
	switch (which) {
	case OPAL_IMC_COUNTERS_CORE:
	case OPAL_IMC_COUNTERS_NEST:
		break;
	default:
		res = -EINVAL;
		goto out;
	}

	fn = start ? opal_imc_start : opal_imc_stop;

	on_each_cpu_mask(&core_imc_cpumask, fn, (void *) which, 1);

	res = cpumask_empty(&nest_imc_result) ? 0 : -ENODEV;
out:
	mutex_unlock(&imc_control_mutex);
	return res;

That would allow sharing of too much code, right?

What's that NULL initialization for?

That allocation is guaranteed not to fail?

Freeing memory allocated with alloc_pages_exact_nid() via kfree() is an
interesting approach.

Why is that called if core_imc_pmu == NULL?

And again, like in the previous one. Why is that called at all if any of
those is < 0?

The else clause wants to have curly brackets as well.

It's really weird that more or less identical functions (aside of the mask
and the counter) are implemented differently. In this version you use
cpumask_any_but() correctly.

That's at least consistently returning success even if the counter start
failed.
