Hello,
I have released a new version of the perfmon base package.
This release is relative to 2.6.16-rc1.
Due to the addition of the migrate_pages() system call, all perfmon
system calls have been shifted by one. As a consequence, you must
relink your applications using the new version of libpfm which
is also released today: libpfm-3.2-060118.
This new kernel patch includes several important changes:
- added support for the Dual-Core Itanium 2 (Montecito) processor
- working support for MIPS5K and MIPS20k (by Phil Mucci)
- lots of cleanups in the PMU description modules. Some common
functionalities moved into core (masking of reserved fields)
- PFM_REGFL_NEMUL64 managed from perfmon core
The new version of the library, libpfm, includes the following changes:
- added support for MIPS5K, MIPS20K
- added pfm_get_event_counter() interface with man page
- added support for compiling using a 32-bit ABI on a 64-bit OS
(not available on all platforms, see config.mk)
- reworked all standalone examples
- cleanups and fixes in the generic examples
The two packages can be downloaded from the SourceForge website at:
http://www.sf.net/projects/perfmon2
I will be posting the patches directly to LKML for
review very shortly.
Enjoy,
--
