Subject: perfctr-2.1 released

perfctr-2.1 is now available at the usual place:
http://www.csd.uu.se/~mikpe/linux/perfctr/

Version 2.1, 2001-08-19
- Fixed a call backpatching bug, caused by an incompatibility
  between the 2.4 and 2.2 kernels' xchg() macros.
- Fixed a bug where an attempt to use /proc/<pid>/perfctr on an
  unsupported processor would cause a (well-behaved) kernel oops.
- The WinChip configuration option has been removed, and WinChip
  users should instead pass "notsc" as a boot-time kernel parameter.
  This permitted a cleanup of the driver and the 2.4 kernel patches,
  at the expense of more code in the 2.2 kernel patches to implement
  "notsc" support.
