E-mail: eranian@hpl.hp.com Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello everyone, I have released an updated version of the perfmon new code base package. This release is relative to 2.6.14-rc4-mm1. I have also updated the library, libpfm-3.2, to match the kernel level changes. Kernel-package features: ------------------------ - preliminary support for MIPS R5000 by Phil Mucci - on X86-64, P6, P4 32-bits, the PMC enable bits are now under the control of the users. Pfm_start/pfm_stop do not touch them anymore. That means applications must set them. - simplified arch-specific interface (merged calls) - simplified PMU description tables (removed dep_pmc[]) I now have a compilation environment for PPC64 and MIPS64, as such I have verified that the patches for those architectures compile, no actual testing has been done, though. For MIPS, the patch is relative to the www.linux-mips.org GIT tree as they still maintain a separate tree. The common perfmon patch does apply cleanly even though the MIPS tree is sligthly behind (see README.mips). For libpfm-3.2, the updates is to reflect the changes for the enable bits for P6, X86-64. The P4 standalone programs, and PEBS examples have also been updated for enable bits. Note that the PEBS support does not seem to work when Hyperthreading is enabled. I have not yet tracked this one down, any volunteer? You can grab both packages at our SourceForge web site: http://www.sf.net/projects/perfmon2 You must download: - 2.6.14-rc4-mm1-051017 - libpfm-3.2-051018 Enjoy, -- -Stephane
