Andrew,
Here's an update for perfctr's ppc64 low-level driver
which fixes counter wraparound issues in the driver.
This patch was written by David Gibson; here's his description:
"Problem was that with the conversion of the perfctr state
"start" values from 32 to 64 bits, my typing/sign-extension was no
longer correct, leading to overflows if the hardware counter rolled
over during a run. With this patch the PAPI testcase failures appear
to be back down to the two that we know about."
