Subject: perfctr-2.7.5.1 released

Version 2.7.5.1 of perfctr, the Linux performance
monitoring counters driver, is now available at the usual
place: http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/2.7/

The system call numbers recently changed, causing the
perfctr-2.7.5 library to malfunction on recent kernels.
This update fixes that. There are also some fixes to
the 'make install' procedure.

This is a sync-up with the 2.6.9-rc2-mm1 kernel.
A reference patch for the vanilla 2.6.9-rc2 kernel
is also included.

Version 2.7.5.1, 2004-09-19
- i386 and x86_64 system call numbers have changed: updated
  library and 2.6-vanilla kernel patch accordingly.
- Fixed a problem causing an incomplete "wrapper" file to be
  installed as /usr/include/asm/perfctr.h on x86_64 systems.
- Eliminated a potential kernel crash on P4 model 3 Prescott
  processors, due to the driver initialising two control
  registers that have been removed from P4M3. The P4M3 Nocona
  does not appear to have been affected by this error.
- Fixed install procedure to not fail to install the shared
  library's symbolic links when updating an older installation.
