Subject: perfctr-2.7.21.1 released

Version 2.7.21.1 of perfctr, the Linux performance monitoring
counters kernel extension, is now available at the usual
place: http://user.it.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.7/

This is only a kernel update release, to provide ppc64
perfctr support in the 2.6.22 kernel to some folks at ANU.
It would be nice if the PAPI/IBM folks can merge these
updates into PAPI's supported version.

Version 2.7.21.1, 2007-10-06
- ppc64: recognise the PowerPC 970MP.
- Perfex: On ppc64, do not truncate the MMCR1 value to 32 bits.
  Bug fix from Philip Mucci.

Version 2.7.21, 2007-10-03
- Updated to support kernels 2.6.18 to 2.6.22. The system
  call numbers used in these kernels differs from those used
  in older kernels. The user-space library has been updated
  and will support both these newer kernels as well as the
  older kernels supported by perfctr-2.7.19/2.7.20/2.7.20.2.
- Corrected kernel driver Makefile to unbreak call-site
  backpatching in the x86 driver.
- Updated x86 driver to match the one in perfctr-2.6.28 in
  terms of fixes, CPU support, and kernel version support.
- Updated references to my email address and perfctrs' web URL
  to match current reality.
