Subject: [Announce] Version 1.9 of x86 performance counters driver Version 1.9 of my x86 performance-monitoring counters driver is now available at http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/. Summary: Version 1.9, 2001-02-13 - Fixed compilation problems for 2.2 and SMP kernels. [Caused by the kernel not passing "-nostdinc" to gcc, and RedHat 7.0 including 2.4.0 kernel headers in /usr/include/.] - Corrected VIA Cyrix III support. The "VIA Cyrix III" product has apparently used two distinct CPUs. Initial CPUs were a Cyrix design (Joshua) while current CPUs apparently are a Centaur design (Samuel). Added support for "Samuel" CPUs. [NOTE: This could use some testing on real HW. Any volunteers?] - Two corrections in the K7 perfctr event list. - Small tweaks to vperfctr interrupt handling. - Added preliminary interrupt-mode support for AMD K7. Future changes on the perfctr-1.x branch will be limited to bug fixes and updated glue patches for new 2.2 kernels. New features and hardware support will be implemented in the perfctr-2.x branch, but it will only support 2.4/2.5 kernels. (Sorry, but maintaining compatibility with 2.2 kernels is taking too much of my time.) / Mikael Pettersson
