Hello,
I have released a new version of the perfmon base package.
This release is relative to 2.6.15-rc5-git3.
I have also updated the library, libpfm-3.2, to match the kernel
level changes.
Hi Stephane,
I downloaded the new version of perfmon and the matching libpfm. I built
everything on a p6 based machine. The kernel booted fine. I tried the
task_smpl_user in the libpfm examples. That crashed the kernel. What was
on the xterm:
$ ./task_smpl_user ls
measuring at plm=0x8
programming 2 PMCS and 2 PMDS
