To: perfctr-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: perfctr-2.7.17 released Version 2.7.17 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.7/ Version 2.7.17, 2005-05-26 - On all architectures the low-level drivers now indicate changes to the mmap:ed counter state via a standard seqlock mechanism. This cleans up the code, enables user-space fast sampling in some previously impossible cases (x86 w/o TSC), and eliminates a highly unlikely but not impossible failure case on x86 SMP. Based on suggestions from David Gibson. - Fix counter wraparound issues in ppc64 driver. From David Gibson. - Preliminary code in the x86/x86-64 low-level driver to detect multicore AMD K8 processors, and to prevent resource conflicts and an erratum related to northbridge events. On multicore K8s, northbridge events are only allowed when using the global-mode counters API. /Mikael Pettersson
