I'd > welcome feedback from the non-x86 hackers out there. I'm far from a hacker but regarding API, you should check that your interface could support the PerfAPI effort. This API is aiming at providing the same *programmer* interface on many OS. PerfAPI - Performance Data Standard and API http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/papi/ Another question: does your patch support SMP systems ? I'll try to put a link on my web page (http://www.irisa.fr/prive/dmentre/linux-counters/).
